Hmm, that is most interesting because this behavior has been around 
since at least 2.5.0 and before even that.

The problem is within maybe_serialize(). If what you say is true, then 
your serialized array would be serialized again. However, there is a bug 
[1] that prevents it from being serialized again. It appears the code is 
there, but isn't ever going to be executed.

I'm going to submit a patch to it. I suppose I should had gotten around 
to it sooner, but I had other priorities and I thought that since it had 
been in affect for a while, that it won't matter if it stayed a little 
while longer.
