Looking at https://3v4l.org/dGZbf the reporter considers the difference between php5 & php7 to be a bug

However, I think this is caused by the changes made for https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php7_foreach The documentation could be updated; but each is already marked as deprecated

The point is that current($abc) returns false but each($abc) returns a value. It's inconsistent: either the pointer is reused and both return false, or the pointer is reset for the new variable and both return values.

The culprit is that we're resetting the internal pointer if it is
beyond the valid range when duplicating the array[1].
