This appears to be a documentation bug...

open my $ff, ">&", STDOUT or die "1: $!";
open FH, ">&$ff" or die "2: $!";

does not work, but:

open my $ff, ">&", STDOUT or die "1: $!";
my $fd = fileno($ff);
open FH, ">&$fd" or die "2: $!";

and so does:

open FH, ">&", $ff or die "2: $!";

I'm assuming you made an error copying the code since the code supplied 
won't work. (print $mem1 'AAA';)

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $mem1;
open F1, ">", \$mem1;
my $mem2;
open F2, ">", \$mem2;
print F1 'AAA';
print F2 'BBB';

open F1, ">&", F2;
print F1 'aaa';
print F2 'bbb';

print "$mem1\n";
print "$mem2\n";

__END__

Output:
AAA
BBBbbb


Chaning it to  open F1, ">&=", F2; 

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $mem1;
open F1, ">", \$mem1;
my $mem2;
open F2, ">", \$mem2;
print F1 'AAA';
print F2 'BBB';

open F1, ">&=", F2;
print F1 'aaa';
print F2 'bbb';

print "$mem1\n";
print "$mem2\n";

__END__

Output:
AAA
BBBaaa
