I got the following error message:

Recoverable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to drupal_attributes() must be of the type array, string given,
called in /home/hutch/www/test7/sites/all/themes/bootstrap3/templates/bootstrap/bootstrap-panel.vars.php on line 60

This can be avoided with a simple test, patch attached.

must be of the type array, string given

The issue lies in whatever is invoking the theme hook, not the theme hook itself. It expects there to be an array, but something else is passing a string. Similar to the related issue I am attaching here.

I'm closing as won't fix because as a design concept, PHP notices/warnings/fatals like this are actually an indication of user/developer implementation rather than a "bug" with the code. It's actually telling you that the problem lies in some module or whatever is implementing said theme hook and you should try fixing it there instead.

Simply "masking" them with something like the above patch is actually causes more damage than it's worth. You wouldn't really know where the degradation is actually happening and it would be next to impossible to debug properly, not to mention providing inconsistent results for the theme hook implementations.

The error occurred in the function bootstrap3_process_bootstrap_panel() which is an instance of hook_process_bootstrap_panel(). When I commented it out, thus allowing the default function bootstrap_process_bootstrap_panel() to be run instead, the error disappeared. The two functions are identical.
The error occurred on clicking on two links in two modules I maintain, Filepicker and Imagepicker, I searched both for incorrect use of #attributes and found none, they all used an array() to define the value.
So I can't really explain the error and as there is a cure I'm not going to worry about it either :-)
Other than this very minor issue I have found the bootstrap theme quite usable and a good implementation of the Bootstrap Responsive Layouts system.
