New Comment:
I agree this was a bug but as it breaks existing code it shouldn't have been
released in the 5.4 branch. It should have thrown an E_WARNING at worst.
A backward incompatible change shouldn't be in a minor release, that's what
major
releases are for.

Reflection is also affected.
...and I couldn't come up with code yet, where parent:: is problematic.

Unfortunately, this also changes error messages to something like:
Undefined class constant 'Foo::B' instead of 'self::B'...
