New Comment:
The case is with the original code stated, the code loops, and does not
block on the fread - ie, it keeps returning instantly (even with
nothing), which seems to me to be non blocking eventhough I'd told it
to block..
If I remove the stream_set_blocking(STDIN,TRUE); altogether, fread
appears to block - but instead of returning after receiving a block of
data, it blocks until the buffer is filled up (in this case being 128
bytes) - *then* it returns..

What you have just described is blocking IO, and that is precisely what
I'd expect to happen when reading from STDIN.
Now, when reading from a socket, you would expect the call to return at
the end of a packet, but php doesn't yet have any idea that stdin is a
socket, and that sounds like the cause of your problems.
Can you confirm that this is the case, as your more recent comments
don't seem to match up to your original report?

What exactly was the workaround?
I did try removing the statement, and it kept reading the STDIN with
the
fread until the amount, in this case being 128 bytes is filled, rather
than
taking it to the end of the packet...

Will you please try the workaround I suggested?
I'm not saying it isn't a bug, I'm just suggesting something that might
help get your script working in the time it takes for this bug to get
fixed.

Surely it wouldnt matter if xinetd opened the socket blocking or
non-blocking, as the script opens STDIN which needs to be blocking
as php is talking to stdin, *not* the socket directly..

The default mode for streams is blocking mode, so you shouldn't need to
call this function at all.
Is xinetd setting it to non-blocking before the script starts?
It does sound like you have a bug there, I just thought you might like
to try a workaround until it gets fixed.
