How to convert {curly brackets} to tikz?

Question

When I convert this

@startuml
A -> B: {curly}
@enduml

to tikz, I get the following (shortened) output:

...
\node at (26.6pt,52pt)[below right,color=black]{{curly}};
...

The problem is, that LaTeX ignores the brackets around {curly} when generating the PDF. One would have to escape those like this. \{curly\}.

Can this escaping be achieved with plantuml automatically, or is this a bug?

Thanks for the report.

This should be fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar
