This is expected behavior, but I can not find this in the manual either
(atleast not on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php).
Making it a documentation problem.

No doubt there is a reason for:

print_r(TRUE)        displays 1
print_r(FALSE)       displays nothing

But too me, it just seems inconsistant, bad practise and very
confusing.

I can find nothing in the documentation I have on, why it is like this,
as the text indicates 0 is to FALSE as 1 is to TRUE.

It is also obvious from your bug list, that the area of TRUE/FALSE and
1/0 has its problems.
