Yes,
documentation says :
"If safe mode is enabled, the uid of the script is added to the realm part
of the WWW-Authenticate header. "

and second :
"The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is running
as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI version"
and also :
"Also note that until PHP 4.3.3, HTTP Authentication did not work using
Microsoft's IIS server with the CGI version of PHP due to a limitation of
IIS ..."

This seems to be a minor bug in PHP concept...
PHP Authentication (Basic) works when :
1. PHP is running as apache module
2. safe_mode=off or safe_mode=on, but external authentication in Apache is
disabled ("PHP uses the presence of an AuthType directive to determine
whether external authentication is in effect")

At this time I do not now, how to help you ? Try report it to bugs ?
