Comment(by boonebgorges):

 The problem arose with [3270], which applies maybe_unserialize() to the
 output of get_value_byid(). When  xprofile_get_field_data() is called on a
 checkbox, it gets the value from get_value_byid(). The output of
 xprofile_get_field_data is then run through some formatting filters like
 kses. The problem is that while those filters could handle the old
 serialized string (which was then unserialized in the template tags), they
 don't know how to handle arrays.

 Before reverting the change I want to talk to JJJ (who applied [3270]) to
 see if there's a good reason, other than preferring to use
 maybe_unserialize in one place instead of two.
