Comment:

 Could you post some code which shows the problem? I'd suggest disabling
 all plugins and any caching related items as well.

 The following code works for me:
 {{{
 <?php
 update_post_meta(7, 'testkey', array('Value1', 'Value2'));

 $id = 1;
 var_Dump(
 get_post_meta(7, 'testkey', true),
 get_post_meta(7, 'testkey', false),

 get_post_meta($id, 'foobar', true),
 get_post_meta($id, 'foobar', false),

 get_post_meta($id, 'testkey', true),
 get_post_meta($id, 'testkey', false)
 );
 ?>

 Output:

 array
   0 => string 'Value1' (length=6)
   1 => string 'Value2' (length=6)
 array
   0 =>
     array
       0 => string 'Value1' (length=6)
       1 => string 'Value2' (length=6)

 string '' (length=0)
 array
   empty

 string '' (length=0)
 array
   empty
 }}}
