This problem was introduced when binary format integer was supported.
is_numeric()/intval() (many others) were not taken into account new format.

This is a bug, already that the is_numeric supported octal e hexadecimal,
should add support to binary annotation too.

Description:
------------
In PHP 5.4.15 the definition of is_numeric() is in ext/standard/type.c (line
300ff)[1]. The relevant function to do the check for arguments of
type string is is_numeric_string_ex() in Zend/zend_operators.h (line
109ff)[2]. Apparently special support for strings in binary as well as
octal notation is missing; only strings in decimal and hexadecimal
notation are recognized as such (strings in octal notation are treated
as being decimal).
I have filed this issue as documentation problem, but it might be considered an
implementation bug.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(is_numeric('0b1'));
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
