Thanks for the detailed report, there is already php-5.2.12_rc4 (not in Gentoo world though), so most likely there won't be a php-5.2.11. php-5.2.12 and php-5.3.1 (will) have the patch.
We now have php-5.2.13, so this should be fixed. Sorry for taking so long (and please reopen if it's not really fixed).
