Storing a multidimensional array using register_setting double-serializes subarrays identified with a string

Description

Storing a multidimensional array, such as $options['my-option'][$id] = "value", into the database using register_setting results in the "my-option" string getting double serialized. The option_value is stored as:

s:9:"'my-option'";a:1:{s:9:"option-id";s:5:"value";}

The my-option array is encased in both single and double quotes, so that isset($options['option-id'] evaluates false, but isset($options["'option-id'"] evaluates true.

Why are you serializing the internal array?

I'm not.. it's automatically serialized whenever someone hits "Save Settings" on an options page and the array is passed through register_setting
