Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This was broken in < 5.3.3, you need to use the "first day of" phrase (and not use "first day"). "first day" means the same as "next day" (and always has).
