I've just tested it, it doesn't change document.referrer !!!

Open Console, Copy Paste and Hit Hinter:
delete window.document.referrer; window.document.__defineGetter__('referrer', function () { return "yoururl.com"; });

now type in console:
document.referrer
or
window.document.referrer

you can see the changes...

Hey, this was a snippet to show that phantomjs did not pass the referrer as expected. So it not working in the original version of phantomjs is expected.
