As already mentioned in the other PR, my knowledge is that $attribs must be an array and not a string. If you pass in a string, the method is called wrong.
I don't see that we should change that.
Thanks for working on this. Unfortunately this did not make it into the final release of Joomla 2.5, or it was handled elsewhere, so this is being closed. If you feel this is still a valid issue in Joomla 3 please create a new issue.
