Symfony 2.8 -> 3.4 ERROR PhpDumper "Cannot dump definitions which have method calls."

Question

I'm updating an application from Symfony 2.8 to 3.4 and getting the following error:

Cannot dump definitions which have method calls.

Here the verbose version:

  [Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\RuntimeException]  
  Cannot dump definitions which have method calls.

If I dump $value before the exception is thrown in PhpDumper.php:1761 I'm getting:

}

In PhpDumper.php line 1762:

  Cannot dump definitions which have method calls.  

So the PhpDumper.php cannot dump Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Definition?

My current workaround is to modify PhpDumper.php to not throw that exception.

Thankful for any suggestions :)

UPDATE

this could be related to doctrine_phpcr. I created a test symfony project where this can be reproduced:

And I created an issue.

This seems to be a bug with SF 3.4.15, downgrading to 3.4.14 results in no error.
