Klaus, 

I am not aware of any specific incompatibility between 
GDAL and use of PHP MapScript as a dso.  You might want
to try with non-GeoTIFF files that still go through GDAL and/or
try with the cgi version to help determine the boundary of the
problem.  I *suspect* there is a conflicting libtiff in use which
can cause all sorts of pain.

Best regards,
