Well, I must confess that I haven't taken the time to work out what you guys
are on about, because these keyword-inheritance things always confuse the
hell out of me.

But I think I can add something to the discussion by noting that there *has*
been a change (presumably intended) in the way _REF_EXTRA works between 5.4
and 5.5. In 5.4, the rules for precedence of keywords passed by reference
were different from the rules for keywords passed by value; in 5.5 they are
the same. There was a thread on this subject entitled "Keyword precedence"
in August 2000, in which JD & I confused the hell out of everyone else &
each other (well me, anyway). I also communicated with RSI Tech Support at
about that time and tried to convince them to change the behaviour. They
seem to have done so.

So, your bug may be my fault.
