I can reproduce it.
array(1) {
[0]=>
&object(clsTest)#1 (2) {
["prop"]=>
int(0)
["arg_array"]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}
prop=1 <br>
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(clsTest)#1 (2) {
["prop"]=>
int(1)
["arg_array"]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}

I've inverted "Expected result" and "Actual result".

Description:
------------
When $this is stored by reference in a PHP array, itself stored in a
property, then function call_user_func_array() is able to recognize the
reference only if called in the same local context where $this is
referenced. In other words, the reference seems to be lost for
call_user_func_array().
The bug does not occur with PHP 5.2,
It does occur with both PHP 5.3.0 and PHP 5.3.1. Not yet tested with PHP
5.3.2
Note that if we use a global variable instead of a property, then the
bug does not occur.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function f_test(&$obj) {
$obj->prop++;
echo "prop=".$obj->prop." <br>\r\n";
}
class clsTest {
public $prop = 0;
public $arg_array = false;
function meth() {
if ($this->arg_array===false) $this->arg_array = array(&$this);
echo 'arg_array[0] '.(($this->arg_array[0]===$this) ? ' is the
same
instance' : ' is not the same instance').' than $this'." <br>\r\n";
call_user_func_array('f_test', $this->arg_array);
}
}
$oTest = new clsTest;
$oTest->meth(); // OK
$oTest->meth(); // ERR
?>
Expected result:
----------------
arg_array[0] is the same instance than $this
prop=1
arg_array[0] is the same instance than $this
Warning: Parameter 1 to f_test() expected to be a reference, value given
in D:\www\bug.php on line 14
Actual result:
--------------
arg_array[0] is the same instance than $this
prop=1
arg_array[0] is the same instance than $this
prop=2
