I know 1 (P2PKH) and 3 (P2SH). But what is the "4" prefix?

...

etc.

Blockchain.info says only "Unrecognized Address Version 8", but the blockchain parser finds (at least) like 650 of these addresses with funds on them.

How about txids that use these addresses? searchrawtransactions 4PXAyBiWgTo2EaNvxbpLz8d4edj2taEWux says Invalid Bitcoin address (code -5).
