The original object was a string starting with ':', not a symbol.

you can get around this (if it is not a bug) by quoting the string:
[nrt@bligh filters]$ ruby -r yaml -e 'p YAML::load(%q(":not_a_symbol").to_yaml).class'
String

What version? I get String:
$ ruby -v -r yaml -e 'p YAML::load(":not_a_symbol".to_yaml).class'
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-10-17) [i686-linux]
String
The string has been escaped by #to_yaml
$ ruby -r yaml -e 'puts ":not_a_symbol".to_yaml'
--- ":not_a_symbol"

I guess I should have given the version in my original post:
$ irb -v
irb 0.9(02/07/03)
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.1 (2004-04-05) [i686-linux]
$ ruby -v -r yaml -e 'p YAML::load(":not_a_symbol".to_yaml).class'
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-10-17) [i686-linux]
String
Good. It has been fixed.
The string has been escaped by #to_yaml
$ ruby -r yaml -e 'puts ":not_a_symbol".to_yaml'
--- ":not_a_symbol"
The problem was loading, not emitting:
$ ruby -v -ryaml -e 'puts ":not_a_symbol".to_yaml'
ruby 1.8.1 (2004-04-05) [i686-linux]
--- ":not_a_symbol"
$ ruby -v -ryaml -e 'puts YAML::load("--- \":not_a_symbol\"").class'
ruby 1.8.1 (2004-04-05) [i686-linux]
Symbol
Thanks,
Guillaume.
