Excuse me, I don't quite understand what you're concerned about. The break would occur if you use PHP 6 serialized content in PHP 5, not vice versa. I already said that having the same escape format in PHP 5.2 is not tractable for BC reasons and the support, as such, must be left to PHP_Compat.

You want to break all the strings which were stored serialized in the
5.x-series? I can understand that it will break in php6 but not in some
minor release.
It will cause havoc with a lot of apps which can't read their cached- /
meta-data anymore.

Also the performance drawback will get you a lot of angry users.
Wasn't that just some versions before when the serialization has gotten
a lot slower and created lots of problems?
