It's still bogus, you can call it a BC break if you want, but we're not
going to change this back.

I'm not an expert in PHP internals but there's a guy(stereofrog) on the
SitePoint forum who has a different point of
view(http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2146304&postcount=9):

it's 'simply ridiculous. They have a code in zend_compile.c that
handles "$this=$x" and copy-pasted that code in the function that
comples assignment by reference. This should prevent "$this=&$x" (which
is wrong), but for some reason it "prevents" "$x=&$this" as well (which
is absolutely correct). It's pure c-level bug and has nothing to do
with "new object model" and other blah-blah.

NOTE: This is about PHP 5. It might have worked in PHP 4 but it does
not and will not work in PHP 5.

I still find it a bug. I need a reference to $this for BC with PHP4 in
the following piece of code:
function &getRootDataSource() {
$root =& $this;
while ($root->parent != NULL) {
$root =& $root->parent;
}
return $root;
}
