On a virgin installation, when setting up a new user, and clicking on the q=user/reset link provided in the email, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/includes/form.inc on line 641

Logging in using the q=user link works just fine.

Confirmed on my install.
Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/stilbla0/public_html/drupalbeta/includes/form.inc on line 641
Occurs when I attempt to reset a password and click the supplied link from the email.

I believe the problem lies in this commit:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/modules/user/user.module?r1=...

The attached patch should fix the problem.

The form['help'] code has an error in the nesting of the parentheses:

-          $form['help'] = array('#value' => '<p>'. t('This login can be used only once.')) .'</p>';
+          $form['help'] = array('#value' => '<p>'. t('This login can be used only once.') .'</p>');
