Comment (by ramey):

 Looks like you're on to something here.  I'm still looking at this.

 "suffers from the problem that if someone serializes an object with
 implementation level of class-info through a pointer, then all other
 instances are are tracked too (even those that are not serialized through
 a pointer)"

 But this is the intended behavior!  If this wasn't true, pointers to
 objects previously serialized as objects wouldn't be restored properly.
