Bob Ippolito <b...@redivi.com> added the comment:

The documentation says "If specified, default is a function that gets 
called for objects that can’t otherwise be serialized. It should return a 
JSON encodable version of the object or raise a TypeError."

*can't otherwise be serialized* means that the object must not be a 
subtype of something that is serializable. The implementation is correct 
and this behavior is documented. Documentation patches to make this more 
obvious are acceptable, but it's not a bug so it can't be fixed as such.
