I wasn't sure, at first this looks like an extension bug, but I think at the core it's really a general MW bug. My host upgraded PHP from 5.2.5 to 5.3.0 and hooks went crazy. They're giving me this error message: "Detected bug in an extension! Hook __HOOK FUNCTION NAME__ failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort." This happens to many hook extensions, but not all. I can't figure his out, I think it has to do with PHP 5.3.0 compatibility (functions returning NULL instead of false?). Because it happened to a bunch of hook at once I believe it's a problem with how MW handles the hooks.
Not an issue with PHP5.3. Seems as though your extensions are broken and not returning values from their hooks, like they should. Which extensions are showing the error?

For ConfirmEdit this is already fixed, see bug 20371.
Changing Product/Component to MediaWiki extensions/SpamBlackList.
Was fixed in r55449.
