Multidimentional aobject array cannot be deserialized.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When serializing a multidimentional array you get a fairly readable result:
<node type="InMemoryChild, App_Code.gtpb07oh, Version=0.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
  <name>sample</name> 
- <arrayOfValues2D>
  <string>Sample key</string> 
  <string>Sample value</string> 
  <string>Sample number</string> 
  <long>1024</long> 
  </arrayOfValues2D>
  </node>

However if you attempt to deserialize this same XML, you receive an 
exception:

System.ApplicationException: Couldn't set field arrayOfValues2D in object : 
Constructor on type 'System.Object[,]' not found. ---&gt; 
System.MissingMethodException: Constructor on type 'System.Object[,]' not 
found.
