I had this same problem today. Luckily Ayende had the fix and I am sharing it with you. When you configure the serializer, change the DefaultMembersSearchFlags property on the ContractResolver:

var serializer = new JsonSerializer
                        {
                            ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore,
                            ContractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver
                                {
                                    DefaultMembersSearchFlags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance
                                },
                            TypeNameAssemblyFormat = FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple,

                            ConstructorHandling = ConstructorHandling.AllowNonPublicDefaultConstructor
                        };
