When you serialize an object the serialized form contains the class name.
So as long as the instance doesn't have a own class name it isn't possible
to serialize it properly and even further to unserialize it, because the
whole definition is gone. To sum it up: They aren't serializable.

Imo it isn't such a flaw, that anonymous instances aren't serializable,
because anonymous functions/closures aren't neither.

Sebastian.
