Comment (by dd32):

 I'm really close to agreeing that this is a `wontfix` based on the fact
 that it was effectively hacking array support in.

 Have there been any other reports of breakage due to this? If it's just
 the one plugin, then meh, If it's been a common thing for plugin authors
 to do, then I guess we should consider fixing it, but it's still very
 edgecasey where a plugin just switching upon `$wp_version` seems better.
