As Richard Webb noted, it fails for the same reason as VC++ 8.0 fails,  
so we should just mark this as "expected" as well. Okay for me to go  
ahead and do that on the trunk and release branch?

This is the trivial patch to fix the Serialization failures on Darwin:

Tested on Darwin (both PowerPC and Intel); shall I commit to the trunk  
and the release branch?
