You could likely simplify the code even further using an infinite
iterator:

$result = preg_replace_callback(
'/word/',
function($matches) use (&$replacements_iterator) {
return $replacements->next();
},
'word word word word word'
);

What am I missing that causes the first call to
$replacements_iterator->current() to return NULL
unless the iterator is rewound before use?
Eh, nothing. You're right, next() doesn't return an element, it just advances,
so you still need the current() call. Which seems kinda silly to me, but
whatev.
That is documented, so it's OK. The curiosity (bug?) is the need to call
rewind():
$replacements_iterator = new InfiniteIterator(new ArrayIterator($replacements));
$replacements_iterator->rewind(); // why is the rewind needed?
$result = preg_replace_callback(
'/word/',
function($matches) use ($replacements_iterator) {
$r = $replacements_iterator->current();
$replacements_iterator->next();
return $r;
},
'word word word word word word word word'
);
In other (simple) scripts using InfiniteIterator the rewind wasn't needed.
