So, does this get fixed at least in the documentation? :)

I still don't understand why this can't get fixed, a lot of user crys
because of the 'magic feature' of the session and such problems.

Ok, but still, there is nothing in the documentation that explain this
problem or show it, how to avoid it.

Moved to Documentation problem

Yes. Don't try to outsmart session extension by changing $_SESSION
array itself. This way $_SESSION looses its magical features and the
only result you can get is invalid/broken data.
This is expected and I have serious doubts it's going to be changed
ever.

Here is also an interesting issue:

When i use the 2nd example code ( the one with $tmp = $_SESSION);

and i put

unset($tmp);

after it or try to assign 
$tmp['x'] = 'y';

then the $_SESSION assignment startin again to work. Please
investigatte ASAP.

Same problem with this Code example:

<?php
ob_Start();
session_start();

var_dump($_SESSION);

$_SESSION['asdf'] = "cool";

$tmp = $_SESSION;

$cool = 'test';

$_SESSION['me'] = $cool;

var_dump($_SESSION);
