Comment:

 I can't reproduce anything with that code per se, but it is obvious why
 is_front_page is returning two different values. Between calls, you call
 query_posts(), which resets the query object and changes all of the
 conditionals to reflect the new query.

 If you don't want to alter things that low-level, then using get_posts or
 a new WP_Query will suffice.

 Also, if you're going to use `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']`, better not to use it,
 but if you do, then make sure you escape it.
