Is it likely that this occurs with CPANTS in the first place?

tely, CPANTS doesn't tell the Data::Dumper version it is using... :-(
I looked at the three failure reports you referenced, and seeing as 2
of them come from the same person, perhaps we could ask imacat what
version is installed? I just used 'svn annotate' to go *way* back in
the sources for M::B and I confirmed that we've been using "Terse"
dumping since this feature was introduced.
Another idea I just had by looking at the Data::Dumper docs was that
maybe some funny refs are in the structure it's trying to write? It
says "$VARn names will be avoided where possible", and maybe in this
case it doesn't think it's possible. So we'd probably also need to
see the build_params file to diagnose that.
