You have:
<?php
var_dump($_REQUEST, $_POST);
?>
</pre>
output:
array(0){
}
This suggests one exists, it's just empty. Which one I wonder...

philip: $_REQUEST and $_POST both don't exist. display_startup_errors
gives you a warning "File upload error - unable to create a temporary
file" so you actually have to upload something for this bug to
trigger.
If upload_tmp_dir isn't set, it tries to use /var/tmp, /tmp or anything
similar.
Using latest 4.3 branch I can't reproduce it either, but this is
another server. The server where I discovered this bug, is in
production, so I won't be able to test it until some odd hours during
the weekend.

I can't replicate either, and I set upload_tmp_dir to something that
doesn't exist. But anyway can you separate the dump of $_POST and
$_REQUEST so we know which one at least exists? And can you explain
what display_startup_errors affect is on this exactly? And does it
matter if upload_tmp_dir is set? Don't see why it would. Anyway,
please do more tests and try to see if you can get it to work :)

Please try using this CVS snapshot:
http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
For Windows:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip
I've been unable to replicate this problem using latest CVS of
4.3.0-dev/4.4.0-dev. Please try a later version and report back, there
is nothing in the code to cause the behaviour you've described.

Stumbled upon this, in a chrooted environment.
No php.ini (so default settings). No /tmp and /var/tmp or make
upload_tmp_dir not writeable for the webserver.
display_errors On
error_reporting 'no value' (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE)
$_REQUEST/_POST are not populated.
Only when setting display_startup_errors to 'On', one gets a clue, what
is going on.
Example:
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"
method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="this_var_should_be_set" value="foo"
/>
<input type="file" name="userfile" />
<input type="submit" value="test" />
</form>
<pre>
<?php
var_dump($_REQUEST, $_POST);
?>
</pre>
output:
array(0){
}
