The same issue (unexpected additional argument) potentially affects userland autoloaders too, but obviously the individual authors can fix that themselves (whether this would count as a BC break is not immediately clear to me) Slightly tangentially, you may also want to look at a change to spl_autoload_call to accept a SPL_AUTOLOAD_* argument, so that it works consistently.
