 Because custom field values are passed through the poorly named
 maybe_serialize() when importing, any values that already contain
 serialized strings are serialized again, making them useless. Although it
 would make more sense to me to eliminate the bizarre behavior of
 maybe_serialize() that may break something else, so I fixed this problem
 by turning off maybe_serialize() for WXR import.
