Escaping the tags makes no difference either

Description:
------------
Calling msgfmt_create(...) or new MessageFormatter(...) with patterns
having nested tags will return null.
Apparently the same happens with empty patterns, but returning NULL from
an object constructor is a SERIOUS bug.
Test script:
---------------
$f1 = new MessageFormatter('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this
pattern ???}');
echo 'f1 is ', gettype($f1), PHP_EOL;
$f2 = MessageFormatter::create('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this
pattern ???}');
echo 'f2 is ', gettype($f2), PHP_EOL;
$f3 = msgfmt_create('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this pattern
???}');
echo 'f3 is ', gettype($f3), PHP_EOL;
Expected result:
----------------
f1 is object
f2 is object
f3 is object
Actual result:
--------------
f1 is NULL
f2 is NULL
f3 is NULL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
