It's simply because both the PHP memcached classes use strlen() when
they need to count the number of bytes. On our install, strlen() is
overloaded to the multibyte version, so it's all broken.

The bug in PHP was that it was designed, through severe lack of
foresight, for single-byte character sets, and multibyte support is a
real hack.
