This bug occurs also when file is in UTF8 (tab delimited file using
š,č characters). I can provide an example.

Ok, bug documented as "are read wrong by this function" is better then
nothing. 
But do you plan fix this wrong behaviour?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. 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

Quote from the docs:

Note: Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If LANG is
e.g. en_US.UTF-8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this
function.

Sorry for duplicate (#50456 is my), but in it, additionally to there
described problem in fgetcsv I also suggest fix fputcvs to allow [force]
enclosing single words in field.

Off course it does *not* solve this problem of incorrect fgetcsv
parsing, because RFC allow not quoted values (
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc4180.html , section
2.5 ), but, it is make
pair fputcsv/fgetcsv as minimum compatible in PHP implementation.
