This has been added in 5.3. I just tested it with PHP 5.4.5-dev and it works.

Description:
------------
array_reduce() accepts an initial value to be passed as the first argument in
the callback function instead of NULL.
However, this initial value - if passed - is converted to an int. This is
probably because the more common use of this idiom is for mathematical
reduction.
It would be helpful to allow other types to be passed such as strings or
objects.
Note: this ticket is a duplicate for #42566, but the reporter never bothered to
follow up.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo array_reduce(
array(' ','world'),
create_function(
'$total,$new',
'return $total.$new;'
),
'hello'
);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
hello world
Actual result:
--------------
0 world
