Bug description:  assigning array element reference appears to modify array

Description:
------------
Assigning reference to an array element appears to modify the
array element rather than simply creating a reference to it.
This is surprising, to say the least.

At least I think this is a bug and couldn't find anything with the same
behavior and such minimal code.


Reproduce code:
---------------
$a = array(1,2);
$r =& $a[0];
var_dump($a);


Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
}


Actual result:
--------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  &int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
}
