Comment (by henry.wright):

 The example given doesn't attempt to pass a reference at call time. It is
 trying to pass a value(s).

 This is slightly different to the issue I opened where a reference is
 being passed at call time as an array item. Note passing an array item by
 reference is allowed in modern PHP. The problem is
 `call_user_func_array()`. I added an example to #45480
