Comment:

 this has been discussed for years. It's not a problem of the serialization
 library per se. It's an effect of the fact that there is no
 standard/portable way for text based streams to represent various types of
 NaN s. no one has shown an interest is addressing this. So for now the
 best policy is to trap attempts so serialize Nan's to text base archives.
 I had thought we did that on serialization. Maybe you would like to
 investigate this in more detail
