Closes #3517.

I have tried to touch the minimum code as possible while leaving the defaults as they are now. The code works now by redefining to value to save as a list containing the dictionary. However when writing to disk the the dictionary is saved correctly, without the list (I do not understand 100% how it works but it does so someone double check!).

$ cat test.zarr/.zattrs { "foo": { "bar": { "val": 3 } } }
