 This is causing site-wide plugin activation to fail.

 Try this as a test:

 var_dump( update_option( 'test', '' ) ); // returns true
 var_dump( update_site_option( 'test', '' ) ); // returns false

 var_dump( update_option( 'test', array() ) ); // returns true
 var_dump( update_site_option( 'test', array() ) ); // returns false

 var_dump( update_option( 'test', false ) ); // returns false
 var_dump( update_site_option( 'test', false ) ); // returns false

 So when the last site wide activated plugin is deactivated, the
 update_site_option tries to save an empty array of plugins, causing it to
 fail. This did not happen prior to 2.8.1 as far as I can tell.
