It looks like a bug in the yaml parser in symfony.  The literal block is 
valid and the line starting with ## should be considered a part of a 
scalar, not a comment (see http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id927035).

You may try to use explicit indentation indicator, so that your post 
will look like this:

Post:
    title:    My Title
    content:  |2

      ## This is a heading


I'm not sure if the yaml parser you are using would understand it though.

Thanks,
Kirill
