Here's a simple test case.

--TEST--
--FILE--
<?php
$numeric = 123;
$bool = true;
$foo = array(&$numeric, &$bool);
var_dump($foo);
str_replace("abc", "def", $foo);
var_dump($foo);
?>
--EXPECT--
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  &int(123)
  [1]=>
  &bool(true)
}
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  &int(123)
  [1]=>
  &bool(true)
}

While the actual output is

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  &int(123)
  [1]=>
  &bool(true)
}
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  &string(3) "123"
  [1]=>
  &string(1) "1"
}

IMO this is not the intended behaviour, but also looks like a WFX issue. Note that the same applies to preg_replace() / ereg_replace().
