Escape those braces:
- set_fact: >
sshkey_json='\{"text": "{{public_key_contents.stdout}}"\}'
results in:
TASK: [debug var=sshkey_json]
*************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {
"sshkey_json": "\\{\"text\": \"ssh-rsa blahblah comment\"\\}"
}
Which I think is what you want.
