Bug description:htmlentities fundamentally broken in 5.4

Description:
------------
> Like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities() takes an optional third 
> argument encoding which defines encoding used in conversion. If 
> omitted, the default value for this argument is ISO-8859-1 in 
> versions of PHP prior to 5.4.0, and UTF-8 from PHP 5.4.0 onwards

and you broke randomly applications with this
without specifiy 'ISO-8859-1' we get randomly EMPTY STRINGS back 

[harry@rh:/downloads/htmlentities]$ ./test.php 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
strlen($input):
4464
--------------------------------------------------------------------
strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES)):
0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-1')):
6522


Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
 $input = base64_decode(file_get_contents(__DIR__ .
'/70acc70b9c93b6a677825241e8165562_base64.txt'));
 echo
'--------------------------------------------------------------------' .
"\n";
 echo 'strlen($input):' . "\n";
 echo strlen($input) . "\n";
 echo
'--------------------------------------------------------------------' .
"\n";
 echo 'strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES)):' . "\n";
 echo strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES)) . "\n";
 echo
'--------------------------------------------------------------------' .
"\n";
 echo 'strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES, \'ISO-8859-1\')):' . "\n";
 echo strlen(htmlentities($input, ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-1')) . "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
NON-EMPTY reuturn value
