I don't know if this is a bug because I have no familiarity with the module. But here are some things to consider.

The CPAN distribution for Sort::Tree has no real tests. This means that there is no proof on CPAN that this module works in any mode of operation.

You could locally hack the module's source code and set the following variable to 1. It might give you more information as you debug your problem: 

use constant DEBUGGING => 0;

I can not find any code snippets showing uses of this module. I looked on CPAN, where module authors sometimes add code in "examples" directories, and I ran a Super Search here at the Monastery. The CPAN "t" test directory is usually a good source of example uses, but in this case, there are no real tests. The module's POD seems to be the only source of example code.

If you decide to submit a bug report, I recommend getting rid of the YAML dependency. Try to show expected vs. actual output. Better yet, create an actual test (using Test::More) which fails and include it with the bug report.
