OK, further to this, all fixed and working now.

For reference, what happened during the upgrade was that additional 
commands were added to the "pear" interface, and these commands are stored 
in /usr/share/pear/PEAR/Command

The pear "Command.php" parses this directory to create a list of commands 
and checks a $GLOBALS variable to marry up to these commands, as new 
commands were added to this list it caused the error saying "Found some 
command in /usr/share/pear/PEAR/Command that doesnt seem to appear 
anywhere in my list of variables"

So I cleared out the command directory (Renamed it to Command.old incase 
I needed something from there later), removed php using -e and then 
reinstalled php, did a pear upgrade-all and now everything is happy :-)

Hope this will help someone else out sometime in the future.
