That works. I'm not sure if I did exactly as you suggested, but here is
what I came up with:

{   /* Q: Capture for symbol list: case 'xxx' : */
    match = "\b((case)\s+('.*?')\s*(:))";
    captures = { 
        1 = { name = 'meta.symbol-list.php'; };
        2 = { name = 'keyword.control.php'; };
        3 = { name = 'string.quoted.single.php'; };
        4 = { name = 'keyword.operator.string.php'; };
    };
},


Oh, and a big question just occurred to me in my rampant editing of all
my bundles: How will we ever manage merging upgraded bundles into our
changes? I've followed the instructions on the website to "svn co" the
bundles I want from macromates.com into /Library/Appl...TM/Bundles. But
once I make one modification to, say, the language bundle for PHP, isn't
the old copy moved to ~/Libarary/... and thus the svn updates ignored?
Perhaps "svn co" into my ~/Libarary/... folder would have been smarter
since then I could merge changes...but, uh, that's sounds like a lot of work.

What is the "best practice" here?
