We now treat static variables like special variables such as $GLOBALS, $this and so on where they are treated at compile-time. This means that they are faster now but they can't be referenced indirectly similar to the above mentioned. I don't think this is a problem because static's couldn't be defined indirectly anyway. It should be documented as a change from ZE1->ZE2.
This now only leaves global with this behavior. I suggest not to fix it because globals can be defined indirectly and lots of scripts might break. In any case, $GLOBALS[] should continue to be the recommended way.

Attached you see it as a .phpt file (but where is the difference between
your ZE1/2 results).
Part 2: bar_static() is the test that failed in bug20175 but
i think the way Zend Engine 1.1/2 do it now is correct because
they return copies.
Part 3: indeed seems to be an error. Because the manual says one
can return a reference but it shows you can't.
