1. you're wrong, PHP does not depend on system-wide installed pear, it will simply use it if present 2. nothing is missing. see http://pear.php.net/PHP_Archive If installed, phar.phar will function (partially) without the phar extension being present. In other words, not a problem, not a bug.
Greg, Can the messages be enhanced e.g. explaining what will happen in these cases? For example "pear: not found. Using XXX instead" would help users for #1.
As far as I understand "pear: not found" is a shell message thrown into output (stderr?) when make tried to run non-existing system's pear.

if someone has a safe looking patch to improve this, we can consider including it in 5.3.0 regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
