It requires the object to be created in memory somehow, but the defined
constructor function is not called in this case.

When you're cloning an object, its constructor will not be called either.

I firmly believe that it wouldn't make sense to call a (user-defined)
constructor when unserializing or cloning an object. A constructor
usually serves to initialize an object -- what already had happened in
both cases.
