Subject: xmlrpc4r won't unmarshal

I've been trying to use Marshalling with xmlrpc1.7.9, ruby 1.6.6

The Marshal sample client returns a Hash
when I'd expect a Person. 
Is this a stupid newbie conceptual error here, am I simply going mad, or
what?
[ENABLE_MARSHALLING  = true in the xmlrpc config.rb]

Consistent with this is:
	require "xmlrpc/marshal"
	require "person"

	a = Person.new("James",23) 	
	puts a.inspect
	#		=> <Person:0x2b03e08 @age=23, @name="James">

	b = XMLRPC::Marshal.dump_response(a)
	puts b.inspect
	#	  => "<?xml
version=\"1.0\"?><methodResponse><params><param><value><struct><member><name
>name</name><value><string>James</string></value></member><member><name>___c
lass___</name><value><string>Person</string></value></member><member><name>a
ge</name><value><i4>23</i4></value></member></struct></value></param></param
s></methodResponse>\n"

	c = XMLRPC::Marshal.load_response(b)
	puts c.inspect
	#	=> {"name"=>"James", "___class___"=>"Person", "age"=>23}
