Okay, I just wasn't sure of the source of the changes. In retrospect,
character
and other vectors did serialize/unserialize to the original objects.

It is known (happens with save() too and did in earlier save formats).
Nothing particularly clever is done (the format is "%.16g\n") and
similarly as.character/parse are not inverses.
Perhaps more relevant is

I noticed the following peculiarity with `serialize()' when `ascii = TRUE' is
used. In today's (svn r37299) R-devel, I get
