Can you patch the code so that _php_libxml_per_request_initialization is always 1 and see if that
solves the problem?

I don't think that's the problem. Your frame #8:

#8  0x000000000045681b in _php_libxml_pre_ext_ent_loader (URL=0xea1990
"/app/libgda/share/libgda-4.0/dtd/libgda-array.dtd", ID=0x0, 
    context=0xe9e0b0) at /app/php-5.4.8/ext/libxml/libxml.c:694

indicates PHP is using the original entity loader:

694        return _php_libxml_default_entity_loader(URL, ID, context);

precisely because PHP refuses to use the custom entity loader except if all the modules have gone
though module AND request init. _php_libxml_default_entity_loader is set here:

730PHP_LIBXML_API void php_libxml_initialize(void)
731{
732    if (!_php_libxml_initialized) {
733        /* we should be the only one's to ever init!! */
734        xmlInitParser();
735
736        _php_libxml_default_entity_loader = xmlGetExternalEntityLoader();
737        xmlSetExternalEntityLoader(_php_libxml_pre_ext_ent_loader);

So my guess is the problem is elsewhere. Namely, this commit:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/d8bddb966563

xmlParserInputBufferCreateFilenameDefault() is now called on module init and not on request init in
some SAPIs. Other modules that use libxml but happen to run minit after the libxml PHP module may
have some trouble as php_libxml_input_buffer_create_filename() may not be ready to be executed yet.

Description:
------------
php_libxml_initialize function in ext/libxml sets global entity loader via
xmlSetExternalEntityLoader(_php_libxml_pre_ext_ent_loader). This affects any library which is loaded
implicitly during loading phase and triggers segmentation fault.

Gdb output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Steps from #11 to #8 clearly shows that php's hook is wrong in this case.
It doesn't happen with PHP 5.3, where global hook is not set.
