__get() never worked in write context proper. It just CAN NOT work proper, because __get() returns by value (zval*), but modification requires address (zval**). We have a lot of __get() related bugs because of this situation in bugs.php.net. Month ago Marcus disabled usage of __get() in write context and I am completely agree with him We cannot use E_STRICT for this error and then SIGSEGV. Thanks. Dmitry.
