Summary: YAML loading of quoted Symbols broken in 1.8.3

Initial Comment:
When loading Symbols containing characters that need to be quoted (e.g. :"^foo"), the YAML library included with ruby 1.8.3 includes the quotes in the Symbol.  This makes it impossible for such Symbols to correctly survive a round trip through YAML.

The attached test script works properly with ruby 1.8.2, but with 1.8.3 the loaded symbol doesn't match the one that was dumped.
