I have a bug I'm trying to deal with here: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=2439 ... assuming you read the bug report.... Would this be considered a BC break?

I would call it bringing the API into conformance with expected behavior per the documentation and intent.

I think I would agree, but I'm not sure who's depending on the current behavior.

Man, I know what you mean -- c.f. the recent Savant2 discussions about realpath(). :-) It's a terrible feeling, makes you agonize over every little character, not knowing if you're going to break somebody's code. Having said that, if the behavior only exists in the XML container under Win32, and works "properly" everywhere else, then it is a bug and not a feature, and needs to be fixed so that the package behaves consistently. -- Paul M.
