This is the syntax for "grouped properties" which apparently also 
supports Item lists.

Usually this is used for things like
     font {pixelSize: 12; bold: true}
instead of
     font.pixelSize: 12
     font.bold: true

This example is taken from the documentation at 
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/propertybinding.html
I couldn't find any mention of the behavior you've discovered though.
