The broken list syntax was hidden by the broken relative to absolute
path resolution that was broken at the same time... Anyways, I do
agree that the old list format is not the best... It should be
possible to instead change the list format to use a true json format
similar to how test results are stored... An example of this would be
as follows:

{
    'path-to-result-1-directory': {},
    'path-to-result-2/main': null,
    'path-to-result-3-path': { 'name': 'This is the Corrected Name' },
    'path-to-result-4/main': { 'name': 'Yet another Corrected Name' }
}
