Due to a bug in common.inc expecting $db_prefix to be a string, rather than an array, Drupal throws errors since preg_match expects parameter 2 to be a string rather than an array. The bug was introduced in this commit:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/includes/common.inc?r1=1.7...

In effect, using $db_prefix as an array as suggested in the Multisite Login README file isn't possible.

Rather than hack core and cause the death of kittens I'd like to learn of a nice workaround. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks.

This bug was introduced in #482646: Backport SimpleTest testing in drupal_http_request(), and is also being fixed there. You can apply the latest patch for D6 there, which will undoubtedly be committed before the next D6 release.
