Problem is still alive and kicking under 5.3.2.

I had it happen repetition of prior sub() right after a call to
getTimeStamp().
Easily the most aggravating "not-my-bug-but-the-language-itself" I've
ever 
encountered.

The fix for http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49059
fixes this problem as
well. I think this bug can be closed as a duplicate of 49059.

I've attached a patch that is tested on Windows, although the code that
needs to be changed appears to be universal. The patch also includes a
.phpt that compares the resulting timestamps.

The fix for this is a bit disconcerting for me, but as I'm not entirely
familiar with the codebase, I didn't want to muck things up too much.

Shouldn't the c function do_adjust_relative() in tm2unixtime.c be the
one to clear the flags it uses after it applies changes? If we're
clearing the flags in the calling functions, we're bound to miss more
stuff like this one.

This bug is confirmed to still be alive in snapshot "5.3-201002200930"
compiled on Debian Linux.

Reproduction code:
$Time = new \DateTime('NOW');
$Month = new \DateInterval('P1Y');

var_dump($Time);

// Correctly subtracted
$Time->sub($Month); 

var_dump($Time);

// Wrongly subtracted
$Time->getTimestamp();

var_dump($Time);

Description:
------------
Each time DateTime::getTimestamp is called, a previously called
DateTime::sub value is applied.  This does not occur with DateTime::add.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$work_time = new DateTime("2010-01-30 12:00:00"); 
$work_time->sub(new DateInterval("P7D"));
$window_start = $work_time->getTimestamp();
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $window_start) . "<br />";
$window_start = $work_time->getTimestamp();
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $window_start) . "<br />";

Expected result:
----------------
2010-01-23 12:00:00
2010-01-23 12:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
2010-01-16 12:00:00
2010-01-09 12:00:00
