This comment may not be correct any longer. However, at the time we
implemented date-time serialization, which was well before 1.32 was released
and even before you checked-in, we were anticipating these failures since that
was the status of serialization at the time. However, we never enable the
serialization tests....see below....

Because we haven't enabled the tests in the Jamfile. At one point I was
planning to do this before 1.32, but ended up not doing it. We've been
talking about enabling them recently, but we've been in the middle of lots of
other changes so it didn't seem like the correct moment. So anyway, I expect
to enable them sometime soon -- certainly before the 1.33 release.
