Ahhhh nuts.... I just answered my own question: A DirectionsResult contains an array of DirectionsRoutes, and each DirectionsRoute contains a overview_path property that is an array of LatLng *objects*.
Those LatLng objects aren't JSON, so they're not handled by the stringify and parse of the JSON library in json2.js. (As William correctly pointed out.) Bugger! I'm off to explore options for property javascript *object* serialisation. Any advice/tips/pointers are welcome! Thanks all!
