Bingo! It's the targetSdkVersion that's controlling the behavior.
Looking at the AsyncTask source code, I can't quite see how that's
happening, but at least I can confirm the results.

Though for me, the serialized behavior does not kick in until a
targetSdkVersion of 13 -- 12 still gives me parallel operation.

Thanks for the clarification!
