New Comment:

This is mentioned in http://uk.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#AEN63677
. Impossible to find if you don't know where to find it. So changing this to a documentation
problem.

(the issue is that invalid characters in incoming variable names, like dots, are converted to
underscores. This happens with any incoming variable name, be it GET, POST, ENV, or whatever.)

Apache module mod_setenvif sets variables in 
r->subprocess_env. If variable name contains character ".", then
mod_php4.c/sapi_apache_register_server_variables() will
replace it with "_". This breaks internal
variables like force-response-1.0 (php changes it to
force-response-1_0).

Solution: the key in the php_register_variable() call
should be a copy of the real key.
