The following frontmatter parses cleanly:

description: ensure correct value for 'this'

The following causes a test error:

description: 'this' must have correct value

I was surprised by this, and would like to make a note of it here. I believe this is a YAML feature. To avoid problems, don't start scalar fields with a single-quote.

FYI to test writers, notably @anba . Probably not a surprise, but I wanted to document it.

Or wrap the entire field in double quotes :) This is working as intended, I think this is wontfix.
