It looks like this function is just some kind of draft (there's a warning in the documentation saying it's not documented), recently introduced.

If it's not intended to be used and it's still not functional, it should either be made invisible until it's usable, or an alternative should be mentioned in the documentation.

Having to find out that it's completely broken by using it after finding it in the documentation is terribly annoying.

Despite document says third arg (height) is optional, it is, for now, mandatory.

After talking with RemiFedora at #libgd on IRC at irc.freenode.net I got the following workaround: Specify an explicit height for imagescale().

My system which showed the problem:
Archlinux
PHP Version 5.6.1

array (size=12)
  'GD Version' => string '2.1.0-alpha' (length=11)
  'FreeType Support' => boolean true
  'FreeType Linkage' => string 'with freetype' (length=13)
