Description

The following code:

<?php
#[AllowDynamicProperties]
class RealInstance {
    public $_;
    public function __get($name) {
        global $obj;
        $obj->foo ??= $obj->$$a[] =&$$a;
        $a[] =$$a; 
        $x[!0] =$$a;
        return $this->name;
    }
}
class Proxy extends RealInstance {
    public function r_get($name) {
        return $this->$name;
    }
}
$rc = new ReflectionClass(Proxy::class);
$obj = $rc->newLazyProxy(function () {
    return new RealInstance;
});
$real = $rc->initializeLazyObject($obj);
var_dump($real->prop);

Resulted in this output:

/path/to/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c(2699) : ht=0x7f6a9f802900 is already destroyed
php: /path/to/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c:73: void _zend_is_inconsistent(const HashTable *, const char *, int): Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted

Notes

This bug triggers the same hash table use-after-destroy assertion as #20286 but via a different execution path.
