You are making a number of errors there:
1) You are trying to open php://stderr in read mode, but that stream
is write only (I'm not sure why it outputs regardless).
2) You are trying to open STDERR, but that constant holds a stream
resource while fopen() expects a string.
3) You are trying to write to 'php://stderr'. That's not possible. You
cannot pass a string as stream.

The following should work:

daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ cat test.php
<?php
$stderr = fopen('php://stderr', 'w');
fwrite($stderr, 'Error 1' . PHP_EOL);
fwrite(STDERR, 'Error 2' . PHP_EOL);
echo 'Normal echo';
daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ php test.php > /dev/null
Error 1
Error 2
daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ ./src/php-5.2.12/sapi/cli/php test.php > /dev/null
Error 1
Error 2
