Sorry, am mix up a 'Expected result' and 'Actual result' :)
Please read this quite the contrary - 'Expected result' is a 'Actual result'.

Why you think this is a bug ?

you are looking for preg_replace_callback ... or if you are crazy, the preg_replace "/e" modifier.

not a bug, read the manual ;-)

Hi:)
funny...
you will use "/e" modifier if you want parse the pattern as a php code. 
Say me, why a function str_repeat() really work in this situation:
<?php
 $s = "A-B";
 echo preg_replace("/\-([a-z])/iU", str_repeat("$1", 10), $s);
?>

// --------------
// ACTUAL RESULT:
// --------------
   ABBBBBBBBBB

Why?

See that:

<?php
 $s = "A-B";
 echo preg_replace("/\-([a-z])/iU", strtolower(str_repeat("$1", 10)), $s);
?>

// --------------
// ACTUAL RESULT:
// --------------
   ABBBBBBBBBB

// Why that ? :)
