Deserialization of Map with reference value

Dear Ivy team, I face an issue when using Map<String, Object>. I have two key, there has the same value, then it serializes like it:

{
  "additionalData": {
    "@class": "Class&lt;java.util.HashMap&gt;",
    "firstKey": {
      "@class": "Class&lt;objecttype.Assignee&gt;",
      "@id": "$Ref-1",
      "displayName": "Hen"
    },
    "secondKey": "$Ref-1"
  }
}

And when deserializes I expect it should be:
{firstKey=Assignee [displayName=Hen], secondKey=Assignee [displayName=Hen]}

But it actual:
{firstKey=Assignee [displayName=Hen], secondKey=$Ref-1}
The second key now map with wrong value.

Is there any way to overcome this issue? Thanks a lot!
