I'm conditionally including the Facebook libraries only when the plugin actually needs them, but many of the other Facebook plugins include them across the board, without any checks to see if they already exist.

See the thread here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/338887?replies=37 I wonder how many other plugins/themes this has affected.

For example, you can't specify the return as an array instead of an object. Yes, though the implementation is not 100% compatible with the native PHP functions.

So does this mean that, if I don't want to support any pre-2.9 versions of WP, I can just use the PHP-native JSON functions and it will just fake them? If so, awesome!

WordPress 2.9 was lazily loading it unconditionally. The two approaches are not compatible. :) Having thought about it more, I actually have a more succinct summary:

I thought I was loading JSON in a "safe" way before, but apparently it wasn't quite "safe enough" ;) Thanks for the detailed write-up that explains the situation succinctly.

It makes me want to be a completionist about testing, but I can't even begin to figure out how many variables there might be. The systems engineer in me looks at problems like these and just sighs.
