It is simpler. We should just leave the array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS in the
case when register_globals is on. Currently when the variables are registered
they *are* removed from the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array. I do not think this is
the intended behaviour.

The chance of breaking the existing scripts by having the session
variables both as global and in the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array are minimal.

I do not think this is a new feature and just a bugfix...
