I think they will probably disregard it, I believe that when Ze1compat
mode is on the object is at some time being truely copied where under
'normal' situations (ie. using the ZE2 object model) assigning the
object to another var will merely create a reference - since,
apparently, creating a copy of the object is not allowed you get the
error when the engine trys to clone it (when you assign the created
object to another var, possibly when returning it from a function/method).

Also I recommend switching off ZE1Compat mode if you don't need - it
means you get all the cool stuff from PHP5 - like proper object
referencing (i.e. no more worries about using ampersand to pass objs by
reference etc)
