Comment (by scribu):

 The fact that WP doesn't expect an array in `$_POST['author']` isn't a bug
 in itself, since comments can only have a single author. It seems to me
 that the bug lies in whatever code generates `author[]=foo&author[]=bar`.

 This is an old debate, though: how far should we go in preventing notices?
