Yes, __clone() is a form of a constructor. It creates a new object from
an existing object of the same type. In C++ this would be known as the
copy constructor, for instance. In Java it is the clone() method. Both
are considered constructors.

Also, when the object is serialized, it no longer is an object. It has
state but no behavior - the data are there but not the methods.

So when it is deserialized, a new object is created and by definition a
constructor must be called.

No, all serialization does is save the contents of the object. It is no
longer an object. The call to the original object's destructor is
correct. And, as you mentioned, when it is deserialized, it is no
longer the same object - it is a new one, so a constructor must be called.

In object oriented programming, a new object can ONLY be created by
calling a constructor. As noted above, different languages have
different terms for them. But a constructor MUST be called according to
OO principles.
