Great analysis of the problem. You are absolutely right, this is
a bug in the hook I wrote, and checking for /^ARRAY/ should fix
that.
It seems like a non-critical problem as it's just an error message,
but the actual operation is not affected. Thus, it will be unlikely
to have this fixed in etch, but I am not ruling it out either.
Could you try if the following patch against the hook script fixes
the problem?
