Just a blind guess: yaml doesn't know how to (de)serialize binary data
for/from RubyCocoa extension. I guess Data type means binary data that
is opaque to ruby.
__slave_nsobj__ is a member attribute of Folder.

If you can look at yaml and RubyCocoa sources, you'd find more (e.g.
what is __slave...).
