Bug description: Magical Constant __FILE__ contains wrong information on included files

This is a very strange bug, as I have a similar piece of code running on
the same server and it gives me the expected information (i.e. the full
server related path for the script being run).
However, this simple set of scripts gives me the wrong information:
contents of test.php:
<?php
echo "original file is: " . __FILE__ . "<br>";
include("test2.php");
?>
contents of test2.php:
<?php
echo "included file is: " . __FILE__ . "<br>";
$boo = "another try: " . __FILE__;
echo $boo;
?>
As described above, a similar piece of code works perfectly on the same
server but using a different virtual host. This similar code is actually a
bunch of classes that use a specialized Error handler class to report any
problems, and the error is mailed to me. On these emails, I get the correct
__FILE__ output and everything works as expected.
Any pointers would be very appreciated.
