Valid YAQL in With Items Input Fails

Creating a workflow that includes a "with-items" task that uses a valid YAQL statement to supply a list to the input of the task fails. It appears that the workflow will not longer properly evaluated the YAQL prior to running the task.

The following task config does not work:

withitem_task:
    with:
      items: <% ctx(dict_obj).keys() %>
    action: core.noop

Using the exact same YAQL statement in the publish statement of a prior task will generate a proper array and works as expected when referenced from the context in the "items" section.

Start by reproducing the shown workflow with the with-items task and compare its YAQL evaluation with the same expression in a prior task's publish statement. Trace where the items value is evaluated before core.noop runs; done means the valid expression produces an array and the task executes. No file or test is named in the issue.
