What if you didn't pay attention to the internals like refcount but
only for actual results? Can you come up with a short and simple example
of what actually doesn't work?

I have simplified the reproduce code to much. Sorry

it should be

$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new
RecursiveArrayIterator($arr['l1']));
foreach($iterator as $leaf) {
    $iterator->offSetSet($iterator->key(), 'ALTER' );
}

Expected result
array(3) refcount(2){
  ["l1"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
    }
  }
  ["l2"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(3) "ORG" refcount(2)
    }
  }
  ["l3"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(3) "ORG" refcount(1)
    }
  }
}

Actual Result 
array(3) refcount(2){
  ["l1"]=>
  array(1) refcount(3){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
    }
  }
  ["l2"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(3) "ORG" refcount(2)
    }
  }
  ["l3"]=>
  array(1) refcount(3){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
    }
  }
}

Description:
------------
When multiple entries of an array are initialized with a $base var
array, new entries will increase refcount.
Any modification of this new entries should decrease refcount.

But if modification are done through a recursive Array Iterator,
refcount works like it was reference, and all leaf are modified

Reproduce code:
---------------
// Reference var array
$base['one']['two'] = 'ORG';

// Work array
$arr = array (
	'l1' => $base,
	'l2' => $base,
	'l3' => $base,
);
unset($base); // No need anymore of reference 

// Break refcount for level 2, level 1 and level 3 are still refcount
$arr['l2']['one']['two'] =
$arr['l2']['one']['two'];

// Create an iterator on level 1
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new
RecursiveArrayIterator($arr['l1']));
// Alter leaf of level 1
$iterator->offSetSet($iterator->key(), 'ALTER' );
debug_zval_dump($arr);


Expected result:
----------------
array(3) refcount(2){
  ["l1"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
  }
  ["l2"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(3) "ORG" refcount(1)
    }
  }
  ["l3"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    string(3) "ORG" refcount(1)
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(3) refcount(2){
  ["l1"]=>
  array(1) refcount(3){
    ["one"]=>
    string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
  }
  ["l2"]=>
  array(1) refcount(1){
    ["one"]=>
    array(1) refcount(1){
      ["two"]=>
      string(3) "ORG" refcount(1)
    }
  }
  ["l3"]=>
  array(1) refcount(3){
    ["one"]=>
    string(5) "ALTER" refcount(1)
  }
}
