The problem is not that serialize() is somehow charset "unfriendly" but the
result may still contain characters that the storage backend can't handle.
We can of course do something that the Prefs_ldap driver already does. It
just base64-encodes all pref values. We can do this with the sql driver as
well but that takes away the possibility for admins to change preferences
directly in the backend in an easy way.
