I have also been getting this error. My output looks like the following:

…

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /var/www/wordpress/src/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 5378

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /var/www/wordpress/src/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 5378

…

I first tried changing my php.ini file by setting the error_reporting to “E_ALL E_ALL ^ E_STRICT” which didn’t do anything. I also tried “E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED” but that didn’t work either.

Is there anyway to fix this error?

If I clear my browser cache and remove the blog/ and supercache/ directories, and then reload the webpage, this re-creates the blog/ and supercache/ directories and saves the index.html. Now if I refresh it again, there is a check in the code that looks for this index.html and if found uses it instead of reloading the page from scratch. Where is this check in the wp super cache code?

I have placed error_log statements in each function in wp-cache-phase1 and wp-cache-phase2. When I read the error log, I get the correct output when I do the first page refresh that caches the html file, but when I refresh it again none of the error_log statements are hit.

I was looking in wp-cache-phase1.php where it checks to see if the file exists in the cache, would it be a viable patch to incorporate a counter that just kept track of the total number of hits/misses for that cache?
