Hi Michael,

It's funny you say that, since I've been running this playbook for a while 
and ever since the update it started failing; it might very well be that 
the 'when' never did what I expected it to do though.

However, there is a clear change in behavior, further investigation shows 
that previously:

roles/x/tasks/main.yml:
- include: ../../y/tasks/main.yml name="sometask"

roles/y/tasks/main.yml
- include: "{{ name }}.yml"

would evaluate to "sometask.yml", however now it evaluates to 
"sometask".yml (Mind the quoting)
When you remove the quotes around variable passed in (name=sometask) it 
does seem to work again.

-N.
