$ yq --version
yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/) version v4.40.5
$ echo 'simple: string0
simpleArray:
  - apple
  - banana
  - peach
deep:
  property: value
  array:
    - cat' | yq '.. |(
        ( select(kind == "scalar" and parent | kind != "seq") | (path | join("_")) + "='" + . + "'"),
        ( select(kind == "seq") | (path | join("_")) + "=(" + (map("'" + . + "'") | join(",")) + ")")
)'
simple= + . + 
deep_property= + . + 
simpleArray=( + . + , + . + , + . + )
deep_array=( + . + )

I believe this is caused by wrong escaping.
If you use single quote to quote the string, you need to escape single quotes inside...

Yes you're absolutely right - it should be:

yq '.. |(
        ( select(kind == "scalar" and parent | kind != "seq") | (path | join("_")) + "='\''" + . + "'\''"),
        ( select(kind == "seq") | (path | join("_")) + "=(" + (map("'\''" + . + "'\''") | join(",")) + ")")
)' test.yaml 

I'll update the docs 👍🏼
