parse_ini_file returns empty array if config.ini is saved as UTF-8

Description:
------------
parse_ini_file returns an empty array while trying to parse any ini-file which is saved as UTF-8.
ISO-8859-1 saved ini-files works as expected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
; Saved as UTF-8
[production]
application.base_url  =
application.data_url  = "data"
database.type         = pdo_mysql
database.host         = 192.168.0.78
database.username     = root
database.password     = 
database.name         = blog

Expected result:
----------------
Get an array..

Actual result:
--------------
array()

Would that be UTF-8 with the BOM? or without?

config.ini was saved as UTF-8 with BOM.

I have the same problem with PHP 5.3.0alpha3 under Windows Vista.
The parsed ini-file was saved as UTF-8 with BOM.
parse_ini returns an empty array for me.

See #46326 as well (ini broken when BOM are present)
