I guess that this is due to the difference of RbYAML and Syck.
RbYAML seems not to be maintained recently.
In addition, it has a dozen of bugs.

I spent a while on this today, but I just can't figure out the crazy pile of crap that is RbYAML.
It appears to occur somewhere in/near lib/rbyaml/serializer.rb's implemenation of 'serialize_node'
The 'default tag' for Symbol is 'str', so the emitter code prefixes the stream with that.
I have no idea whether that is a correct 'default tag' for Symbol, however.
Someone with my YAML experience may need to look at this.
