I have a fresh D7 install and when I enable both Devel and Admin menu I get this:
"warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ..."

If I disable devel the warning is gone, see this related post where everyone is trying to isolate this warning: https://drupal.org/node/829250

I came across this error as well, and noticed it was being caused by the Switch User block. There was a call to drupal_placeholder(array('text' => $user->name)) for displaying usernames in the switch user block, however it should have been passing in text and not an array. drupal_placeholder() ends up calling check_plain() which also makes a call to htmlspecialchars(), hence the warning from htmlspecialchars() expecting a string and not an array.

It looks like this has been fixed with the current development release, so try the latest 7.x-1.x-dev build of the Devel module.

Thank you, cwc!

Core changed the type of the expected parameter in #885000: drupal_placeholder() takes an array as an argument.

If you have a core version older than August 18, you need a Devel version older than August 18.
If you have a core version more recent than August 18, you need a Devel version more recent than August 18.

@stompersly: feel free to reopen if updating Devel doesn't fix the problem.
