Thanks for the explanation. I thought that might be the case but didn't find any other usages of "serialise" so was not sure.
 
  I'm not sure whether it's worth trying to standardize.
I think the most recent opinion on this was Munro's:

Either reads fine to me and the best rationale I can think of for going with one spelling is to not have the same "fix" come up again.

If there is a desire to change this, attached is updated to include one more instance of "materialise" and a change to the commit message to match some similar ones I found in the past.
