I experienced this bug when building a new automation framework using
PHPUnit +
selenium.
IT seems that PHPUnit uses reflection to instantiate a static function
called
suite which handles an array of browsers and duplicating a testcase to
run in
each one.
I was on the latest ubuntu package: PHP 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5 with
Suhosin-Patch

I got around it by switching the reflection to call_user_func but this
should
probably be fixed as PHPUnit is very popular.

Description:
------------
When a static method is called through reflection, late static binding
does not work. Probably because the getMethod() returns the method
associated to the parent class.
Test script:
---------------
class A{
public static function call(){
static::callLate();
}
public static abstract function callLate();
}
class B{
public static function callLate(){
echo 'Late static binding';
}
}
B::call();
$class = new ReflectionClass('B');
$class->getMethod('call')->invoke(null);
Expected result:
----------------
Late static binding
Late static binding
Actual result:
--------------
Late static binding
Cannot call abstract method B::callLate()
