Ping! Worik, could you please post the details I asked for, so we
could investigate this issue?
Sorry this dropped off my radar.
Looking at my example I think that I made an elementary mistake, the line "pop_rates: converted_pop_map" starts with some whitespace.
The original file is not available any more, so I do not know what white space it was.
I did think that white space sorts differently from that, whatever, I made a mistake, and I am sorry for wasting your time.
Thank you for your attention, albeit to me being foolish.
