This is probably not a bug. When you unset current element, the internal array pointer moves to the next element. Therefore what you're doing is essentially equivalent to https://3v4l.org/rWQq8:

<?php
$ar = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$it = new ArrayIterator($ar);

foreach ($it as $k => $v) {
    if ($k === 0) $it->next(); // eq. to unset($it[0]);
    echo "\$ar[$k] = $v;\n";
}

echo "\n";
print_r(iterator_to_array($it));

Similar bug with stdClass and ArrayIterator: https://3v4l.org/2A1pf

This bug is still being encountered in the wild, and it cost us considerable time to figure out what was wrong: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library/pull/544/files#diff-d4c8c6dc8769324fc27cfdac19f05cafR88

This regression has been introduced with commit 2b6a568[1].  The
first change in array_015.phpt already shows the problem.
