... and here is another, likely related issue:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T x_t=( integer -a x=( [7]=1 ) ) ; x_t y ; typeset -p y.x"'
typeset -a -l -i y.x=(1)
-- snip --
... somehow I would've expected the output to be:
-- snip --
typeset -a -l -i y.x=( [7]=1 )
-- snip --
Basically all indexed array types made out of basic shell types
(string, integer, float, compound) are affected...
