POST files uploading - multipart/form-data + UTF bug in PHP?

When I try to upload files using HTTP post with header Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=-----NPRequestBoundary----- everything works as expected but trying to use Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=-----NPRequestBoundary-----; charset=UTF-8 cause completely blank $_FILES array.

Is it a problem with PHP or web server? As I know this form of Content-Type is valid.

Bug was fixed in SVN rev. #316373 (5.3.9 release covers it).

I've found dirty workaround for this problem. For me it's ofc temporary bcs it doesn't work under litespeed (I used reverse proxy to apache to avoid this problem).
<Location "/upload.php">
RequestHeader set Content-Type "multipart/form-data; boundary=-----NPRequestBoundary-----"
</Location>

It will force webserver to replace content-type header. For now I'm sure - this is a PHP bug (someone assumed that charset will occur before boundary=)

Because the Content-Type is multipart/form-data, this means it is built up from parts, and every part can have its own Content-Type. The charset parameter is only used with text/plain content-type. So it is meanless with a multipart/form-data content-type.
