The serialize method can't get the contents of the file so I don't understand why it would need to serialize the file form field. You'd have to use one of the Ajax File upload plugins to get the contents via AJAX.

It's useful to get the filename for validation.

Seems like a pretty simple fix, it looks like the test for type just needs to have file added to it.
