This affects the Drupal project. All our tests are failing because of this bug.
We see it with array_intersect_assoc().

Description:
------------
Some of the array_* functions that compare elements in multiple arrays do so by
(string)$elem1 === (string)$elem2.
If $elem1 or $elem2 is an array, then the array to string notice is thrown.
Two examples of functions that can throw this are array_intersect() and
array_diff().
If these functions are not expected to take arrays with other arrays as values,
this should be mentioned on the documentation pages.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$left = array('b', array('a'));
$right = array('a', 'd');
print_r(array_intersect($left, $right));
print_r(array_diff($left, $right));
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
)
Array
(
[0] => b
[1] => Array
(
[0] => a
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
