Currently:

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":1,"asdf-2":1,"asdf-3":1}`

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$lot['&asdf'] = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":1,"asdf-2":1,"asdf-3":1}`

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$value->{'asdf-1'} = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":111,"asdf-2":1,"asdf-3":1}`

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$value->{'asdf-2'} = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":1,"asdf-2":111,"asdf-3":1}`

Expected:

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$lot['&asdf'] = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":111,"asdf-2":111,"asdf-3":111}`

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$value->{'asdf-1'} = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":111,"asdf-2":111,"asdf-3":111}`

$lot = [];
$value = from_yaml(<<<YAML
asdf-1: &asdf 1
asdf-2: *asdf
asdf-3: *asdf
YAML, false, $lot);

$value->{'asdf-2'} = 111;

echo json_encode($value); // Returns `{"asdf-1":111,"asdf-2":111,"asdf-3":111}`

Um, it is probably too overkill for this project 😕
