It's most definitely not a PHP bug, but the POST method isn't being authenticated. Check if you have stuff like <Limit GET> in your .htaccess. To ensure that the POST request is actually being authenticated, check the Apache TransferLog file and see whether the POST request has a username in it (authenticated requests include the username in the corresponding log line; non authenticated requests have a dash (-) instead). Once you get the POST request to authenticate (which only has to do with Apache configuration) - the environment variable REMOTE_USER will be available.
