I still think it’s a bug according to the definition of foreach in the php manual.

PHP 6.0) ... but I would rather request to add a notice or warning to the documentation of references to remind stuff like that. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php I think this is stuff more people will stumble over ...
