Hmm. Will's call really but the lookahead for optional argument is
what's causing the problem, so a workaround is

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
% \begin{tabular}{>{\sffamily}l}% works
% \begin{tabular}{>{\fontfamily{lmss}\selectfont}l}% works
\begin{tabular}{>{\fontspec{Latin Modern Sans}\relax}l}% fails/works
   text
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
