Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Trello card https://trello.com/c/wCCP87du
That's caused by core's SpecialPageFactory::getList() providing wrong parameters to SpecialPage_initList hook: it sends an stdClass instead of array.

Yeah, it looks like the special page list is cast to an object, even though the function documentation says it returns an array. It looks like this was added back in 2011 to get around PHP's lack of anonymous function support. Now that we require PHP 5.3, which has anonymous function support, this object cast is no longer necessary. I have no idea why this would have become a problem recently though.
Actually, I read the code comment backwards ( 'func()[$key]' not 'func[$key]()' ). It doesn't have anything to do with anonymous function support, but calling array values from function results immediately is also supported in PHP 5.3, so either way it isn't needed anymore.
So if we change the code in MobileFrontend from... $list['Watchlist'] = 'SpecialMobileWatchlist'; ...to... $list->Watchlist = 'SpecialMobileWatchlist'; ...it should fix the error, but the code has been like that forever, so I'm still mystified as to how this ever worked in the first place. Perhaps MaxSem will have more insight on this.
Actually, scratch that, I didn't notice the "if ( !is_object( self::$list ) ) {" outside the hook. It looks like the hook is only ever called when the list is an array, before it is cast to an object, so I have no idea why it would be throwing that error.
So after some APC issues on a few servers causing problems for Wikidata, the number of these skyrocketed (again)...
