I suggest as one of the tests to do a real clean build.
Typically my tests start with an empty TMPDIR, but I tend to reuse my
downloads dir. Also normally for packages not in downloads I use a
local premirror (at least at work).

Yesterday I found that php did not fetch any more from the src as a
new version was made available and the old version moved to a
different address (museum).
Could be there are more of this.
Suggestion is that a build is tested with an empty downloads dir and
without any mirror (but can't set it up such a test easily at the
moment)

For php I have a crude patch, but will try to improve it this weekend.

The crude patch is to change php.inc with:
diff --git a/recipes/php/php.inc b/recipes/php/php.inc
index bfee93c..ae9c7e2 100644
--- a/recipes/php/php.inc
+++ b/recipes/php/php.inc
@@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ HOMEPAGE = "http://www.php.net"
 SECTION = "console/network"
 LICENSE = "PHP"

-SRC_URI =     "http://us2.php.net/distributions/php-${PV}.tar.bz2;name=src \
+SRC_URI =     "http://museum.php.net/php5/php-${PV}.tar.bz2;name=src \
                file://acinclude-xml2-config.patch \
                file://php-m4-divert.patch"

However, that does not allow having the newest version and an older
version in a recipe as the SRC_URI mismatches
Plan is to move SRC_URI outside the inc and to the individual recipes,
but it'll be sat or sun before I get to that.
I'll also try to peek at upgrading php for master.
