More detailed: when you pass off the function, _get_zval_cv_lookup no
longer able to find your CVs, and they are missed. _get_zval_cv_lookup
then returns pointer EG(uninitialized_zval_ptr), which is shared among a
set of values.
So two values are stored in same place. It is essential that this
happens only if you call it with ZEND_FCALL_BY_NAME (i.e. declare after
using) and only if dereferenced value is not first.

Even more:
f($$var, 0) will also work.
If you declare function before calling it will work too.
Seems like bug in zend_do_pass_params or so on, causing to corruption of
buffer.
These CVs are just missing from the scope (active_symbol_table) after
calling function. Seems like they are removed in middle of code
execution.

<?php
$test = 0;
$var = 'test';
f(0, $$var);
$x = 1;
$y = 2;
echo $x;
function f($a, $b) {}
?>
In this case I receive correct result.

Description:
------------
After calling the function using a non-defined variable variable as a
second parameter the interpreter goes crazy. Just reproduce the script
on any of 5.3.* versions of PHP.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
a(0,$$var);
$temp1=1;
$temp2=2;
echo $temp1;
function a($b,$c) {}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
1
Actual result:
--------------
2
