I have had a WordPress / bbPress integration going for some time, and
when I upgraded WP last week I decided to update bbPress to the newest
version as well, which introduced those very same errors you mention.

I got around them by commenting out this line 61 in bb-settings.php:
require( BBPATH . 'bb-includes/l10n.php');
(the internationalization functions apparently are duplicates of WP functions)
and I added a line at 237 in bb-includes/functions.php, changing

                                        else

call_user_func($function, $string);

to

                                        else {
                                                if
(is_array($function)) $function = $function['function'];

call_user_func($function, $string);
                                        }

I hope that helps.
