Nette\Utils\Callback doesn't pass by reference in 5.6

PHP 5.6 emits the “Parameter expected to be a reference, value given” warning when a callable proxied with Nette\Utils\Callback expects a reference. I ran into this issue when Cache::load is passed a fallback expecting the cache dependencies. Here goes a minimal code to reproduce:

$ composer require nette/utils:~2.2
$foo = 42;
function foo(&$foo) {}

$cb = Nette\Utils\Callback::closure('foo');
call_user_func_array($cb, [&$foo]);
Warning: Parameter 1 to foo() expected to be a reference, value given in .../vendor/nette/utils/src/Utils/Callback.php on line 38

The code works fine on 5.5 and I couldn't find any relevant notes in PHP changelog nor docs, thus I'm not sure if this is something Nette should address or if it is just a good old PHP bug. I'd like to get your opinions on this before reporting.

PHP 5.6.3, OS X 10.10.1

It seems that it did not work in any PHP version, in “affected” versions it only triggers warning.

It seems they are not going to fix this, do they? So, it's 5.6.0-*.
