"Warning: json_encode(): recursion detected in..." while updating or installing plugin/theme in 3.9 Beta 3

I were testing some plugins in my test WordPress website (3.9 Beta 3)...and I saw following error, which I'm attaching to this ticket. This error appears when I try to Install or Update any WordPress plugin or theme in my 3.9 Beta 3 version.

Just after the error appeared twice, I decided to delete the database & setup my test site from the scratch. First I installed the 3.8 version, and it was working fine.

Then, I updated to 3.9 Beta 3 using the Beta Tester plugin, and the error is still appearing.

And I tried this with several plugins, and the error is appearing in all of them.

This has already been fixed, but that fix isn't in the current nightly. Should be right tomorrow.

I'm glad that you guys already solved this prob, as I was worried because 16 April is really close :)
