That appears to be the case.  You can entirely eliminate the parameter, 
that has nothing to do with anything.

You can also create a box, initially empty, and serialize that, then set 
the box to the nonserializable object.  (doit a) still works then, 
meaning the box is nowhere on the stack.  Serialize the box and get 
the error, and then doit doesn't work anymore.  

Still not sure how the error is remaining on the stack though.
