I think that there is no ambiguity because what is passed in the :
$res = changeObj($obj = new StdClass());
is actually the result of the expression $obj = new stdClass(); and not $obj itself.

In C#, as soon as you define a parameter as an output parameter, the compiler will force you to pass a variable as parameter. It won’t allow expression as parameter.

Won’t compile:
stdClass res = changeObj(ref new stdClass());

stdClass obj;
stdClass res = changeObj(ref obj = new stdClass());

Will compile:
stdClass obj = new stdClass(0;
stdClass res = changeObj(ref obj);

So the only one that compiles has no ambiguous behavior.
