This isn't bogus, this is a real bug that causes pain.
N is there for people writing code that talks to network services that
need to convert numbers from network byte order to the native format.
Also note that we get a bonus crash bug on 64-bit platforms too:
$fail = '\x00\x00\x00\x8c';
$result = unpack('Nsize', $fail);
$size = $result['size'] & 0xffffffff; // BANG!

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
You should be using either L or V, not N.
