Actually this is not specific to PHP at all. Ruby just uses a different hashing algorithm so you need to set different keys to get these results.

This is a problem that hashtables have in general (unless they are randomized).

Ruby 1.9's hash function has been randomized for awhile now, and I believe that 1.8.7 got a patch fixing this yesterday.
