Incorrect serialize/deserialize struct with empty Vec field

[XX]

I wrote the following test:

#[test]
fn test_empty_seq() {
    #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq)]
    struct Test {
        int: u32,
        seq: Vec<String>,
    }

    let test = Test {
        int: 1,
        seq: vec![],
    };
    let config = Config::try_from(&test).unwrap();

    let actual: Test = config.try_into().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(test, actual);
}

After running it displays this error:

thread 'ser::test::test_empty_seq' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: missing field `seq`', src/libcore/result.rs:997:5

When I add the #[serde(default)] attribute to the seq field, it is successful, but if the struct contains only an empty-vec-field, it does not help.

Is this still true for the latest release?

Is this still true for the latest release?

Yes, this is still true for 0.11.

Is this still an issue?

I think I've just bumped into it with Hashmasps
