I had the same question previously, but unfortunately, it passed below the radars, so I am glad Mauricio's post got picked up. The problem is that the dict() command automatically converts the variable names to strings, so the new symbolics can't be used in combination with dict(). Hope it can be fixed soon, as this breaks quite a few of my notebooks.
