New Comment:
This patch also modifies the is_a() api by allowing a string as a first
argument.
That seems wrong to me within the 5.3 branch.

Dmitry,
The patch called fix-is_subclass_of-PHP_5_3.diff does the following:
* Alters the existing Zend/tests/is_a.phpt to alter the bad
expectation,
* Adds a new test file for is_subclass_of() as
Zend/tests/is_subclass_of.phpt
* Finally alters is_a_impl() in the following ways:
* If an object was provided as the first parameter, and we are
inside of an is_subclass_of call (known by the flag
only_subclass), then assign the class entry of the object
* Next, determine if the instance_ce provided is the same class
entry as that we are testing against (parameter 2 of the
is_subclass_of() call ... if it is, return false
* Now that we know the instance_ce is not the same as the class
entry for the test class, allow is_a_impl to pass these class
entries to instanceof_function, and return that value
It is pretty straight forward, and any way I look at it, there are
few consequences to this patch.
Thanks,
Ralph

Yes, it would also be fine to return false when comparing against an ancestral
interface, just so long as the behaviour is consistent.
Expected result:
----------------
false
true
false
true
