Mail plugin incompatible with PHP 7.1

When using the Mail plugin on a stock Arch Linux system you get array errors from PHP. The issue appears to be a deprecated method in PHP is no longer working. Arch ships PHP 7.1 as default.

The error in the browser when adding mail to a user is:

@Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/plugins/personal/mail/class_sieve.inc:325 Stack trace: #0 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/plugins/personal/mail/mail-methods/class_mail-methods-cyrus.inc(495): sieve->sieve_login() #1 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/plugins/personal/mail/class_mailAccount.inc(339): mailMethodCyrus->saveSieveSettings() #2 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/include/simpleplugin/class_simplePlugin.inc(1205): mailAccount->ldap_save() #3 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/include/simpleplugin/class_simpleTabs.inc(409): simplePlugin->save() #4 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/include/simpleplugin/class_simpleManagement.inc(779): simpleTabs->save() #5 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/include/simpleplugin/class_simpleManagement.inc(923): simpleManagement->saveChanges('save', Array, Array) #6 /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/include/simpleplugin/class_simpleManagement.inc(550): simpleManagement->handleActions(Array) #7 /usr/share/web in /usr/share/webapps/fusiondirectory/plugins/personal/mail/class_sieve.inc on line 325@

The php-fpm module logs the following in journald:
