It looks like hash references and data merges aren't working.  I was  
running the example from wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaml#Data_merge_and_references, and  
instead of merging the data for the second step,
it's creating an array value of '>>' and populating that.

     pulseDuration:   12

     spotSize:        1mm

- step:
      <<: *id001                  # merges key:value pairs defined in  
step1 anchor
      spotSize:       2mm         # overrides "spotSize" key's value
