I am also experimenting with storing objects serialized as binary data. I think this is a great way to use Riak, and you covered the pros and cons.
The upcoming support for secondary indices will use metadata, so you will be able to index your binary data too: http://blog.epigent.com/2011/05/soon-in-riak-secondary-indices.html Basically you will pass tuples of index-name and index-data as metadata to the put operation.
