I'm sort of getting the same problem.  If I added a code such as:
<pre name="code" class="php">
<?php
     $varX = "string";
?>
</pre>

I'd get:
varX = "string";
?>

To go around that, I just added a "\" before the first "?" and "$".  So it 
looks like:

<pre name="code" class="php">
<\?php
     \$varX = "string";
?>
</pre>

It doesn't look too pretty with the "\" in there, but that's the only 
workaround I
could think of to get it semi-working.

I can confirm this bug. Using it in Drupal 6. It's really bad, that codes with 
php tag 
<?php ?> ist not showing correct. Hope this will be fix soon.
