arrays/objects

 `_list_meta_row` skips the meta rows when the value is a serialized
 array/objects.

 When all meta values are serialized arrays/objects OR when you only have
 one meta with the value being serialized array/object the table heading
 shows up:

 There is a check for protected metas before the table rendering

 wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php:631

 {{{
 $metadata = has_meta($post->ID);
 foreach ( $metadata as $key => $value ) {
         if ( is_protected_meta( $metadata[ $key ][ 'meta_key' ], 'post' )
 || ! current_user_can( 'edit_post_meta', $post->ID, $metadata[ $key ][
 'meta_key' ] ) )
                 unset( $metadata[ $key ] );
 }
 list_meta( $metadata );
 }}}

 but it does not take in account meta values, which are skipped later.

 ''This might be considered an edge case, but it is better to be noted.''
