Since the introduction of the default parsers we have had a bug in the
PHP version whereby inner blocks were being popped onto the output
stack as PHP classes instead of as simple associated arrays. Blocks
that weren't inner blocks were being properly type-casted as arrays.
This patch adds the cast in where it's needed in order to fix this
inconsistent behavior.
So far this hasn't caused any troubles or exposed itself but while
working on other PRs like #11434 it became evident in test code.
Testing
Hopefully you will see by inspection how limited this change is.
Nothing internally should be relying on the
WP_Block_Parser_Block
classes so this change should simply be removing that leak.
Load up Gutenberg, try some things - I estimate that a smoke-test
should uncover problems.
