They're not really bugs.. they're more like design choices. There is no way to fix it except by radically changing its output format in an incompatible way. It's simply that Dumper's goal of eval-ability is in the way.

And I also heavily dislike its output format :-)

BTW, Dumper's purity flag has no effect in this case besides making the output even more unreadable
