Have you tried upgrading to a stable release of PHP? PHP is buggy at the
best of times, but the release candidates are often badly broken.

I know it's working for you with other applications, but that doesn't mean
it's MediaWiki's fault. There might be something different about the way
we call the session handling functions, which is perfectly valid as
documented but broken in 5.1.0RC1.
