This is probably a bug, I think I have run into it.

Try this:

string[string[string]] leaders;
leaders["Obama"] = ["City":"DC", "Title":"ThePrez"];
leaders["Cameron"] =  ["City":"London", "Title":"DaPrimeMinista"];

And if that doesn't work, try unfolding more :-)

Probably should report this as a bug, as well.
