In the case of why User view/edit doesn't work I have the answer. The call to hook_user is being made with an array of values when a list of scalars is taken by the function. Not only that the scalars are by reference.

In:

includes/module.inc:function module_invoke():
    // $args is set to array($type, $edit, $user, $category)
    // $function gets set to "user_user"
    return call_user_func_array($function, $args);

But in:

modules/user/user.module the function is declared as:

   function user_user($type, &$edit, &$user, $category = NULL)

Since call_user_func is used the error is lost.
