I would replace

<?php
function module_invoke_all() {
  $args = func_get_args();
  $hook = $args[0];
  unset($args[0]);
?>

with

<?php
function module_invoke_all() {
  $args = func_get_args();
  $hook = array_shift($args);
?>

or

<?php
function module_invoke_all($hook) {
  $args = func_get_args();
  unset($args[0]);
?>

Please file a patch (or even just an issue) for this. Nothing will get done by just talking in these comments! :)

Here's the documentation on getting involved in developing Drupal core.

module_invoke_all() doesn't support references.
See: [#353494]
http://drupal.org/node/353494

If you need to execute the hook through references, you can use this code instead:

<?php
  $hook = 'my_hook';
  foreach (module_implements($hook) as $module) {
    $function = $module . '_' . $hook;
    $function($term);
  }
?>

PHP 5.3 (5.2?), changed the way that call_user_func_array() treats args passed by reference.

Here's how I've modified module_invoke_all() to deal with this:

<?php
function module_invoke_all() {
  $args = func_get_args();
  $hook = $args[0];
  unset($args[0]);
  $return = array();
  $lOldPHP = (strnatcmp(phpversion(),'5.2') <= 0);
  foreach (module_implements($hook) as $module) {
    $function = $module .'_'. $hook;
    if ($lOldPHP)
      $result = call_user_func_array($function, $args);
    else {
      $ref_args = array();
      foreach ($args as $key => &$arg) {
        $ref_args[$key] = &$arg;
      }
      $result = call_user_func_array($function, $ref_args);
    }
    if (isset($result) && is_array($result)) {
      $return = array_merge_recursive($return, $result);
    }
    else if (isset($result)) {
      $return[] = $result;
    }
  }

  return

$return;
}
?>

The function module_invoke() needs a similar change.

[Follow-up:] This is not actually a good fix. See http://drupal.org/node/353494
