New Comment:
PHP supports declaring functions "inline", i.e. almost anywhere in a
code. Such function is declared as global wherever it is declared.
Hence, I don't see any ambiguity if a function is declared inside a
method. PHP doesn't support adding new methods into existing class.
That's why a function declared in method can only be a global one.

>From what I gather, like most languages, PHP doesn't
support 'nested' methods. (And therefore I doubt this is
a bug)
Where you are calling f() is ambigous. As far as PHP is
concerned f() is probably a global function and not a
method embedded inside a::g().

Description:
------------
Declaration of a function in a method doesn't work.
IMHO by declaring a function in a method one creates a function not a
method. It it was a method it would be possible to call it by $a->f().
That works neither.
See the code below:
Reproduce code:
---------------
class A
{
function g()
{
echo "function g - begin\n";
function f()
{
echo "function f\n";
}
echo "function g - end\n";
}
}
$a = new A;
$a->g();
f();
Expected result:
----------------
function g - begin
function g - end
function f
Actual result:
--------------
function g - begin
function g - end
Fatal error: Non-static method A::f() cannot be called statically ...
