So you didn't try it..? I only tried your test script and
got the expected result. Whatever the characters are..I've no idea of
them anyway..

btw. AFAIK, setting LANG / LC_ALL to UTF-8 is not correct
way to do it..

tml

According to that HOWTO, it should be something like ru_RU.UTF-8 (and
only if you really have UTF-8 locales)

I'm bogusing this since it really isn't anything PHP can affect..

What you mean "works just fine"?
Did it convert 0xC39C ('Ü' in UTF-8 encoding) into 0xC3BC ('ü' in UTF-8
encoding)? Or 0xD0AF (Russian capital "ya" in UTF-8 encoding) into
0xD18F (Russian lowercase "ya" in UTF-8 encoding)?

I didn't know UTF-8 is a locale..

I tried setting LANG/LC_ALL to that and it indeed
didn't work. When I set those to "en_US" it works just fine.

> Exactly what distribution do you have?
Mandrake 8.1 with following RPMs installed:
locales-2.3.1.2-4mdk
locales-en-2.3.1.2-4mdk
locales-ru-2.3.1.2-4mdk
locales-de-2.3.1.2-4mdk

All environment variables set to 'UTF-8'.

Same result.
BTW, in the php.ini-dist there should be a semi-colon instead of colon
in the line 98:
":       is doing." -> ";       is doing."

Could you tell me your settings so that I can try them out?

Exactly what distribution do you have? 
How are LANG/LANGUAGE/LC_ALL etc. environment variables
set in your system (before starting Apache)..?

And please, try with the stock php.ini-dist too.

BTW, here is my configuration:

./configure \
  --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
  --enable-track-vars \
  --enable-safe-mode \
  --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd \
  --with-zlib \
  --enable-magic-quotes \
  --with-regex=system \
  --without-mysql \
  --without-xml \
  --without-gd \
  --with-pgsql=shared \
  --with-imap \
  --with-iconv \
  --enable-mbstring \
  --with-xml \
  --with-kerberos

php.ini has 'default_charset=utf-8'.
