Fixed in cvs:

regression=# select version();
                              version

  PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc
  (GCC) 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)
(1 row)

regression=# create table test(f1 text[]);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into test values ('{"A", "B" }');
INSERT 155428 1
regression=# select * from test;
   f1
-------
  {A,B}
(1 row)

regression=# insert into test values ('{ }');
INSERT 155429 1
regression=# select * from test;
   f1
-------
  {A,B}
  {}
(2 rows)
