It's pushed into PHP-5.5 branch so it must be fixed in the next 5.5 release.

Seems, like this fix didn't make it into PHP 5.5.7 in time. Does that mean, that this will be
fixed in PHP 5.5.8?

I've reverted changes in PHP-5.5 (not in PHP-5.6 and above).

This is a really nasty bug, because you cannot work around it.
Changing the interface breaks all 3rd-party code that makes use of your code.

This is a regression introduced from 5.5.5 to 5.5.6. Reading the news for 5.5.7RC1 now, it looks
like this won't be fixed anytime soon? :-(
Bug at TYPO3 for this. All current TYPO3-releases are affected and only work until 5.5.5.

Actually, this code worked not on purpose but because of luck.
Previously, func_get_args() copied each argument making refcount == 1 and it allowed to pass it by
reference.
The following code demonstrates the real reason of the bug. The first call to call_user_func_array()
works but the second doesn't.
<?php
function foo(&$e) {
var_dump($e);
}
call_user_func_array("foo", array(2));
$a = array(2);
call_user_func_array("foo", $a);
?>
The problem may be related to zend_fcall_info.no_separation handling.
