Well, I spoke too early in saying it's OK.

if cookies are disabled, and there's no session in the URL, it seems
PHP4 session  will not generate a new session and append anything to the
hyperlinks or the URL, both with trans_sid enabled or disabled. That's a
way different from phplib behavior.
In practice, with php4 session, there's no fallback_mode. Get
mode(session.use_cookies=0 and cookies disabled) only works if the user
provides session in the url (which is bad!), otherwise there's no
generation of sid whithout cookies. Am I right? 
 am actually trying various setups and php versions, so I might be makin
some confusion around.

Well, phplib does the same when mode and fallback are both 'cookie'.
It's actually fallback_mode (or mode) 'get' that imposes to have he
session it the url as well

I know, but now I am focusing on this cookie/get problem.
