Coincidentally we noticed a over-the-wire serialization problem today. 
With QVariant. But it's likely not an issue with above mentioned format 
version 13. Rather with a backward compat mode. Do I see it correctly that 
tests/ only cover 4.9 and 5.0 versions? Hmmm. I now realize that I can 
answer this question myself given that the coverage results we just 
posted...

We'll investigate what's going on and submit a patch if it's a problem in
QVariant or QDataStream.

Harri.
