PHP is running as a CGI on the shared hosting servers, which is
why your .htaccess isn't working for it.
You will have to create the error rule within a php.ini file.
That is so much bull, how then can it work for NON .php files?
I know for a fact that CGI does not prevent you using .htaccess or
the ErrorDocument directive in apache because Im using one myself
right now in CGI mode and it works just fine, does your webhost use
a custom error page that advertises its own services or provides a
link to their website by any chance?
Well, laboring under the assumption that everything they tell me is
bull, I looked the other way and found a solution. Thanks also to
Barry for this:

Best thing is probably to use a rewrite rule.
So if the error.html should be desplayed the rewrite rule opens the .php file.
In .htaccess, I replaced
ErrorDocument 404 /not_found.php
with
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /not_found.php
and it seems to be working.
Many, many thanks to you both. I should have started here - it would
have saved me about two weeks. No lie.
Peace,
Jim
