This is a deliberate design decision of mock. Storing references works better for the more general case, with the trade-off being that it doesn't work so well for mutable arguments. See the note in the docs with a workaround: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock-examples.html#coping-with-mutable-arguments
