Comment (by Otto42):

 Dunno, but you should not store serialized values as meta anyway. The meta
 functions have the ability to handle multiple values with the same key,
 and will store these values properly, as separate rows. Meta keys do not
 have to be unique per post in the database. See the documentation for the
 meta handling functions.
