You can append unchecked checkbox data to .serializeArray result:

var formData = $("#mybaseelement").serializeArray();
$('#mybaseelement input[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked)').each(function(i, e) {
    formData.push({name: e.getAttribute("name"), value: false});
});

This is the least invasive solution I can come up with.
