Problem:

In CF8, ListToArray('foo', '') returns an array with a single element containing 'foo', while in CF9, each character ends up in its own element. (This construct is commonly used to convert a string to an array containing that string.) In addition, ListToArray('foo', '', 1) returns an array with empty items at the start and end, incorrect.
Method:

Evaluate the two expressions given in the summary under CF8 and CF9.  The results are clearly different, and in my opinion, CF9 is clearly wrong.
Result:
