I can't assess what would be the proper behavior, given that
DatePeriod appears to be quirky in this regard[1], but at the very
least the current behavior should be documented.

Exactly same issue as described by ko dot fivestar at gmail dot com happens on OSX PHP v5.6.11

php -v
PHP 5.6.11 (cli) (built: Jul 10 2015 22:36:04)

Is there any estimate on when this is going to be resolved?

Now that this option exists, how would you use both DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE and
DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE?

The following patch has been added/updated:

Whether or not it's a bug is debatable. It could be considered a half-open interval (which
would then make it a documentation issue).

Changing it to a closed interval would break backwards compatibility. It would probably be better
adding one more option to DatePeriod that allows the inclusion of the end date. The attached patch
implements that.
