I spent some time playing with this bug and it turned out to be worse problem that it originally
seemed. Changing value of static property with reflection **permanently breaks the inheritance
chain**.

<?php
class Base {
    protected static $prop = 'BASE';
    public function getProp() {
        return static::$prop;
    }
}
class Mock extends Base { }

$obj = new Mock;
$excepted = 'REFLECTED';

$property = new ReflectionProperty('Base', 'prop');
$property->setAccessible(true);
$property->setValue($excepted);

$actual = $obj->getProp();
echo "Schould be {$excepted} and is {$actual}\n";
// exit($actual !== $excepted ? 1 : 0);
?>

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

How about a repro that doesn't rely on your test framework?

Description:
------------
As I was running tests of one of my PHP libs using travis-ci I encountered some issue with late
static binding.

It seems to be not possible to override static property and access proper values with static::
keyword

https://travis-ci.org/majkel89/tcpdf-warper/jobs/68057687

On the other hand the problem might be with reflection API that cannot override static properties
any more.

Non the less I provided full source code as long with tests scripts and results sets.

PS: Would it be wiser to replace static property storing default arguments with inline array in
getArguments both for performance and memory improvements ? This way the problem would be fixed.

Test script:
---------------
https://github.com/majkel89/tcpdf-warper/blob/master/tests/org/majkel/tcpdfwarper/AbstractOpTest.php#L141

Expected result:
----------------
https://travis-ci.org/majkel89/tcpdf-warper/jobs/68057674

Actual result:
--------------
https://travis-ci.org/majkel89/tcpdf-warper/jobs/68057687
