The fox: jumps line gets hilit, even though it is part of the value-string.

I believe your example refers to the YAML way of handling multiline strings.

In NestedText multiline strings are adjacent lines that start with a string tag (greater-than symbol) followed by a space or newline:

some_key:
    > quick brown
    > fox: jumps

which produces the correct syntax highlighting
