Currently you do I'm afraid.

The result of serialise() should be treated as opaque - all you can
usefully do with it is store it and pass it to unserialise() to get
another Query object equivalent to the one you started with.

To get a user-readable string describing an object, use
get_description():

    log($xp->get_description());
