I realize this is slightly out of scope since Seurat 2.3 is on CRAN, not Bioconductor, but given its developers recent interactions with the SIngleCellExperiment developers, I hope it's OK to post this here:
When trying to convert one of the Seurat data objects from the tabula muris, I get the following error. This seems to be related to the fact that the raw.data slot in this particular object is stored as a data.frame (rather than, say, matrix or dgCMatrix), which confuses the SummarizedExperiment constructor. A workaround is to convert the slot to a regular matrix before the conversion (see below). Perhaps it'd be a good idea to add that kind of workaround to the Seurat::as.SingleCellExperiment.seurat function (an alternative would be to clean the internet from legacy Seurat objects, which is perhaps less realistic?)
library("Seurat")
# from https://figshare.com/articles/Robject_files_for_tissues_processed_by_Seurat/5821263
load("facs_Liver_seurat_tiss.Robj")
tiss2 = tiss
tiss2@raw.data = as.matrix(tiss2@raw.data)
sc2 = as.SingleCellExperiment(tiss2)
sc = as.SingleCellExperiment(tiss)
#Error in seq_len(ncol(assay)) :

#In addition: Warning message:
