Comment:

 I've been able to track the introduction of `array_keys` back to 1.6
 [2793], which is not the problem itself, but is the main reason of why
 this is happening. Because this thing has probably existed historically,
 from the inception of this function.

 The question here is: @haruncpi why you don't simply preprocess the
 resulting json into an array, before delivering it to
 `wp_localize_script`?
