Good question; I hadn't yet thought about this issue.
For a closure to be serializable would require all the values it
references to be serializable, including "this" if it captures its
enclosing instance. If that's true then offhand I don't see any
other problems and it should "just work".
(Serialization is tricky though, so I may well be missing something.)
