[ansible-project] Literal scalar expands to a dictionary

[Vladimir Botka]

For example, given "val1: foo"

    - set_fact:
        _var1: |
          {"key1": "{{ val1 }}"}
        _var2: |
          {"key1": "foo"}
    - debug:
        var: _var1|type_debug
    - debug:
        var: _var2|type_debug

gives

  _var1|type_debug: dict
  _var2|type_debug: AnsibleUnicode

*_var1* expands to a dictionary but *_var2* expands to a string. Is it
a feature or a bug?

Thank you,
