language_default exported as array - should be object

Title says it all.

But as you can see from the code in Bootstrap, language_default should be object

/**
 * Returns the default language used on the site
 *
 * @param $property
 *   Optional property of the language object to return
 */
function language_default($property = NULL) {
  $language = variable_get('language_default', (object) array('language' => 'en', 'name' => 'English', 'native' => 'English', 'direction' => 0, 'enabled' => 1, 'plurals' => 0, 'formula' => '', 'domain' => '', 'prefix' => '', 'weight' => 0, 'javascript' => ''));
  return $property ? $language->$property : $language;
}

But Strongarm export is as follows -

  $strongarm = new stdClass();
  $strongarm->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default strongarm disabled initially */
  $strongarm->api_version = 1;
  $strongarm->name = 'language_default';
  $strongarm->value = array(
    'language' => 'en',
    'name' => 'English',
    'native' => 'English',
    'direction' => '0',
    'enabled' => 1,
    'plurals' => '0',
    'formula' => '',
    'domain' => '',
    'prefix' => '',
    'weight' => '0',
    'javascript' => '',
  );
  $export['language_default'] = $strongarm;
