You are right. The following php script:

<?php
  print "a=$a<br>b=$b<br>";
?>
<form>
  <input type="text" name="a" value="1"><br>
  <input type="text" name="b" value="1"><br>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

with arg_separator set to ";" in php.ini produces

a=1&b=2
b=

It is clear that documentation in php.ini is wrong, arg_separator is not
only used for generation but also for parsing of arguments (4.0.4pl1).
