OK, then this exception should be thrown when setting up the caches for
TYPO3.

Well, then Christian made a mistake when sending you this config, I guess.

No. The VariableFrontend does serializing, the StringFrontend is just
for storing strings and it is usefull like it is. The application (in
this case TYPO3) needs to take care of providing strings if this
frontend is used (or deny using it as discussed above).
