I did the following as a test:

<?php
$unpacked_data = array
(
    'handler' => array
    (
        '0' => 'databases', 
    ),
);
?>

var_dump( $unpacked_data );

and I did...

<?php
$unpacked_data = array
(
    'handler' => array
    (
        "0" => 'databases', 
    ),
);

var_dump( $unpacked_data );
?>

I also tried:

<?php
$unpacked_data = array
(
    'handler' => array
    (
        '"0"' => 'databases', 
    ),
);

var_dump( $unpacked_data );
?>

But no matter what I did I could NOT get var_dump to dump my 0 key for
the 'databases' as you have in your output. So methinks therein may lie
your problem. Perhaps during the serialization in javascript check if
the key is an integer-like string and if so then convert to an integer
for the key serialization.

Let us know if it works :)

Cheers,
Rob.
