Thanks for opening the ticket. Which PHP version are you using? It seems you are still using a version prior to 5.6, which introduced allowing arrays as constants.

The attached patch should ensure compatibility to PHP 5.4. But there might be additional conflicts, so it would be great if someone tested the change. I am aware that there are changes that are not compatible with PHP < 5.4. While Drupal 7 has a minimum requirement of PHP 5.2.5, 5.4 is the recommended minimum. Not sure, we really need to support PHP < 5.4. 5.6's end of life will be at the end of this year.
