New Comment:
This is not bogus and it should be fixed. In many cases I in the end managed to
work around this, but its not always possible, like when dealing with legacy
interfaces that one cannot change etc, but that are being superseded by newer
ones (f.e. https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/2244).

Are you planning to cover this bug??
It's pretty simple to fix and since interfaces define behaviours and classes
implements them, this should be possible.
It goes against Object Oriented Programming concepts.

<?php
interface A {
function foo();
}
abstract class B implements A {
}
class C extends B {
public function foo() {
echo 'works';
}
}
$o = new C();
$o->foo();
?>
If you don't want to implement a method from an interface, don't
redeclare it, and the code will work as intended.

Description:
------------
PHP 5.3.0-dev (cli) (built: Nov 5 2007 16:42:56) from todays CVS HEAD.
The implementation of interfaces in concrete abstract classes and their
inheritence is not possible:
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
interface A {
function foo();
}
abstract class B implements A {
abstract public function foo();
}
class C extends B {
public function foo() {
echo 'works';
}
}
$o = new C();
$o->foo();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Echoing "works"
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function A::foo() (previously declared
abstract in B) in ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
