With my proposed method new versions would have their own directory and
so would not have conflicting .php files. You would only get the
install_config query if you had modified the .php files and were
reinstalling the same version, which, I believe, would be wanted
behaviour (I don't want cast trashing my modified files).

The bug, IMO, is that web apps do not use *proper* config files and
rather have you modify the scripts directly.

I believe that depends on which handler you chose when compiling PHP and
how you setup your httpd.conf. Please file a bug so we may figure this
out and, possibly, fix it.
