I don't think it's a bug. This weird behavior is due to the Engine 1 object
model (which will be different in Engine 2).

$obj == is_ref=1/refcount=1

You are passing $obj by value. So inside the debug_zval_dump() it will be
is_ref=0/refcount=1 (it will be copied).
>$obj->do_something();
Inside do_something it will be is_ref=1/refcount=2

You are passing $obj by value. So inside the debug_zval_dump() it will be
is_ref=0/refcount=1 (it will be copied).
Bottom line: Passing it by value makes it duplicate. This is Engine 1.
Nothing to do about it. I guess debug_zval_dump() isn't that useful after
all :)
