Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 the current is_serialized() also catches "some" garbage, btw.
 specifically, each of the following should ideally get rejected:

 {{{
 b:E;
 i:E;
 d:E;
 a:1::;
 }}}

 however, these seem to be very acceptable edge cases that we can live
 with: making the regexp more precise in order to validate the serialized
 data seems overkill given the number of times we call the function -- the
 application's efficiency would suffer.
