Quoting comments on http://pl.php.net/imagecopyresampled:

===== Quote

# if you using an old gd-version  (4.2.x php+bundle)
# imagecopyresampled doesn't work correct because
# the src_x and src_y values are ignored.

# here is a (bum-bum) solution to solve this
# problem without fixing it ( ;

# first, copy the part you want into a temporary image
# at position 0,0
 imagecopy ($tmp_img, $img,0,0,$posx,$posy, $sizex,$sizey);

# than use another image to copy and resample it,
# to get a larger/smaller version of it
 imagecopyresampled ($img_new,$tmp_img,0,0,0,0,$new_sizex, $new_sizey, $sizex,$sizey);

# and than you can use it in your own image
 imagecopymerge ($my_img,$img_new,
$myposx,$myposy,0,0,$new_sizex,$new_sizey,$alpha_value);

However, there were some significant changes in 4.3.x - like some moves in extensions (some removed, some moved to PECL), or few functions were renamed or their behaviour was changed. 

In my opinion PHP 4.3 shouldn't go to RA. Or, at least, not into updates/security or updates/general. Maybe somewhere else (updates/{other,supported,contrib} ?). 

I guess we can ignore this bug...
