hello siim,
i have worked on something similar lately but used a different syntax:
add_article_link_url_list.1.link
that is to say '.' instead of '[]'.
And then use
http://code.google.com/p/gvascript/source/browse/src/protoExtensions.js#Hash.expandmethod
to restructure your flat tree into a deep one.
Hash.expand($('my_form').serialize(true));
cheers
