I just checked with an old PHP manual (probably 4.1.X) and
register_globals can only be set in PHP_INI_PERDIR & PHP_INI_SYSTEM, ie
cannot be set at run-time. So either they changed the behaviour in 4.2.X,
or the latest manual is wrong.

No, but ini_get('register_globals') will :)

However, in the one instance where I used it, it returned 'Off'. My guess
is that it returns whatever was defined in php.ini. Thus if in php.ini you
had defined register_globals = 1, then ini_get('register_globals') returns
1.
It would be much better and less confusing if ini_get() returns values in
a consistent notation, eg for booleans it should either return (0/1) OR
(false/true).
Another gotcha that I've come across is when setting register_globals (may
or may not apply to other settings) in the apache conf file.
This does NOT work:
php_value register_globals On
Whereas this does work:
php_value register_globals 1
