I think a fully logical fix could be implemented for 3.4 (after I commit this), because as you say it is *unlikely* that anyone is relying on the behaviors mentioned as "backward compatibility issues" in the added tests.  However, it is *possible* someone is dealing with a quirky situation where some other broken software is using these flags in key/value form, and depending on it.  Not likely, no (especially since the value would be lost on re-serialization), but since we *can* fix the issue without risking breaking such code, we should, for the maintenance release.
