Is this still an issue with PHP7+?

This would accomplish what you want without using wordwrap().
echo join("X", str_split($str, 13));

I fully agree with mikael. An optional parameter which controls this behaviour would be very useful.
For example: You create a ics/ical file and you want to break after 75 characters
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.1)
wordwrap could make that easy. But it may remove spaces. So your links may break and words may get
unintentionally concatenated.
So a extra parameter makes sense in my opinion.

P.S.: a workaround for the above-mentioned problem is to replace the whitespace character with an
extra symbol (e.g. '^'), wordwrap() and replace the extra symbol back to a whitespace.

The function wordwrap removes on space character if a break occurs between two words. This is not
always desired behavior.
For example:
echo wordwrap('abc abc abc abc', 13, 'X', 1);
Note: 4 spaces between last pair
Results in:
abc abc abc X abc
Two spaces left before the break and one after. One space gets removed. The same happens if we only
have one space where a line break occurres, leaving us with only a line break between the words.
