Comment (by jeichorn):

 So it turns out there are a bunch of entries like that in the array, but
 they are all from plugins that are no longer installed.

 But it seems that just sitting around is enough to cause the problem.

 So i guess the correct fix is too cleanup the uninstall_plugins option.
 Is that the sort of cleanup thats reasonable to do as part of the upgrade
 process?  Or something that is best handled outside of wordpress?
