I wouldn't say that the problem is that your references will or will not "escape". It's just that strings will remain unmodified in memory for some additional time, while char[] can be modified, and then it's irrelevant whether it's collected or not. And since string interning needs to be done explicitly for non-literals, it's the same like telling that a char[] can be referenced by a static field.
