 I'm doing some work with the new update/delete/get_user_meta() functions
 and noticed that associative arrays are breaking. The returned array from
 get_user_meta() is always returning on a level below where it should be.
 The problem is compounded if you try and fetch existing values and then
 update.

 From what I can see, the issue stems from the get_metadata() function.

 Here's some code that highlights the problem, activate it and refresh the
 page a few times:


 {{{
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name: Usermeta Test
 */

 function usermeta_test() {
         global $current_user;

         if ( empty( $current_user->ID ) )
                 return false;

         $old_from_db = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'um_test_old' );
         $new_from_db = get_usermeta( $current_user->ID, 'um_test_new' );

         $old_from_db['foo'][] = true;
         $new_from_db['foo'][] = true;

         update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'um_test_old', $old_from_db
 );
         update_usermeta( $current_user->ID, 'um_test_new', $new_from_db );

         var_dump( $old_from_db, $new_from_db );
 }
 add_action( 'init', 'usermeta_test' );
 ?>
 }}}

 I don't have a patch yet, I wanted to get the ticket up first.
