Rails - Oct 2005 - can't seem to get params correctly formatted using redirect_to

Ok, so i have a nested @params structure

{"cost"=>{"weight"=>nil,
"value"=>"[40,65)"}, "freetext"=>
{"value"=>"dill"},
"action"=>"results",
"drill_down_search"=>"yes",
"controller"=>"search",
"zipcodes"=>{"value"=>"10003"},
"enhanced_search"=>"Search"}

i have a redirect_to to handle a condition where my search engine  
comes up with no results


   def handle_empty_result_set_exception(exception)
     args = @params.merge({''controller'' =>
"oops", ''action'' =>
''no_results''}).symbolize_keys
     logger.debug_yaml("redirect_to args") { args }
     redirect_to args
   end


but when the redirect happens, it massacres the params into an  
incorrect form:

{"cost"=>"value[40, 65)",
"freetext"=>"valuedill",
"geoloc"=>"zipcode10003",
"drill_down_search"=>"yes",
"zipcodes"=>"value10003",
"enhanced_search"=>"Search"}

it doesn''t seem to handle the parameterization of nested structures  
properly, which seems like a bug (?)

I have my own code to do this correctly, but it seems like this  
should be a common thing for people to want to do, am i missing  
something obvious?

Any advice?

Jonathan
