In case anyone else runs in the same problem I found a fix. It was actually
not any of the issues Michael pointed to and I think I know why.

All of my servers have RoundCube from the old package that installs one copy
of RoundCube for the whole server. I prefer it this way for many reasons so
I stayed with that package instead of moving to having a dedicated RoundCube
for each site. I have manually updated RoundCube to the latest version and
kept it running easily until this update to PHP as I described.

It seems PHP 5.5 requires a newer password hash method and since all these
install go back to RoundCube pre 1.0 and have just been updated since then
the password hash was from an old method. All I needed to do was login to
the GUI and go to "Server Management", "Network Services", "MySQL", "Change
Password" and re-enter the password  as the old and then twice as the "new"
password even though I did not change it. Boom it re-hashed the password in
whatever the new method is and RoundCube started working again.
