is this in any way related to the parameter parsing API change that

I don't really remember about array_merge in detail, but this change
shouldn't (I know, famous last words :) create any BC break unless
you rely on weird stuff like array-to-string implicit conversion
(which you really really shouldn't touch with a ten foot pole anyway).
The break in array_merge() was that previously it would cast the
parameters to an array. As such a popular use case before the
parameter parsing change was the following:
$foo = null;
$bar = array_merge($foo, $array);
Since 5.0 this would lead to $bar being false and not $array. While it
could be argued that the user should do an explicit cast himself, it
was still a clear BC issue that caused a lot of issues for developers.
