After a restart of Apache the problem is gone and not reproducible.
I understand this makes it very hard to find.

I'm not sure why this is "memory corruption"?

https://3v4l.org/n4Qim

Which Linux? What's your configure command? Any Zend extensions installed? (Try without them.)

Description:
------------
Running the following code several times yields memory corruption.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('log_errors',0);
class Text
{
	function run()
	{
		eval('static::echo_data(\'test\');');
	}
	protected static function echo_data($data)
	{
		echo htmlspecialchars($data, ENT_NOQUOTES);
	}
}
$test = new Text;
$test->run();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No warning at all by using ini_get("default_charset")

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: htmlspecialchars(): charset `*' not supported
Where '*' is anything random.
