The fundamental problem is that you aren't supplying GSON with enough type 
information and so it has to infer the type from the value. You can work-around 
this by providing the type in your call to toJson():

  String json = gson.toJson(jsonData, new TypeToken<Map<String, List<String>>>() {}.getType()));

We still have a problem where GSON never serializes anonymous classes, which is 
an unfortunate policy in this instance.
