Yes, likely. The problem is that t3lib_div functions who work with arrays
will now only except this type of parameter. For example, you cannot call
t3lib_div::array_merge($param1,$param2) with an empty string as $param2. It
must explicitely be an array, so you have to force it if you're not sure:

$newArray = t3lib_div::array_merge($oldArray, (array)t3lib_div::_GET('xx'));

I'm sure there will be some more fixes needed, however it gives us a chance
to identify a lot of unnoticed problems. I'm sure more info will follow by
Ingo in the upcoming announcements...
