One has to wonder about the readability of the case version though since

Yes, but that's because of the way you wrote it -- consider this:
I'm sure that was completely intentional.
<?php
switch( $foo )
{
case 0:
// something
break;
case 2:
case 3:
// something else
// something elser
break;
default:
// something defaulty
}
?>
If you group the case's together, then there's no problem understanding
what happens in case 2 or 3.
What happens if (like in Rob's example) I want a bunch of extra stuff to
happen for case 2 but not 3?
You can either group them like you have and have:
case 2:
case 3:
if ($foo == 2) {
// do extra stuff
}
...
break;
or not put them under each other:
case 2:
// do extra stuff
case 3:
...
break;
