Agree with Levi: The return value of key() and other Iterator methods on an invalidated iterator is
undefined.

I personally don't see why we should bring this into line with array, ArrayObject 
and ArrayIterator behavior. The fact of the matter is simple: you are calling 
key() on an iterator that is not in a valid state; therefore the behavior is 
undefined. The fact that array and the other classes you mention return NULL is 
an implementation detail, the only one of which I believe is guaranteed is the 
case of an array.

Apparently the Expected Output is achieved when using key() instead of SplFixedArray::key(). See http://codepad.viper-7.com/I3REjD. Thanks to NikiC for
pointing it out.

Description:
------------
SplFixedArray::key() will return a value even when the key does not exist in the SplFixedArray. This
does not conform to the behavior we have in regular arrays, ArrayObject and ArrayIterator.
SplFixedArray::key() should return NULL when the current key does not exist to conform.

Test script:
---------------
http://codepad.viper-7.com/4hWmUn

Expected result:
----------------
NULL NULL NULL NULL 

Actual result:
--------------
int(3) NULL NULL NULL
