Actually, I would disable it globally in pylintrc because building
dictionaries for JSON is something that we do a lot.

But then I'm surprised that this is the only instance that actually
fails. I wonder what the difference is.

For example, 129 doesn't seem to be skipped and has this code:

    result = self.vm.qmp('blockdev-add', **{
                             'node-name': 'overlay',
                             'driver': iotests.imgfmt,
                             'file': {
                                 'driver': 'file',
                                 'filename': self.overlay_img
                             }
                         })

Yet you don't report a pylint error for this file.

Oooh... I think I do see a difference: The final line is indented by one
space more in the case that fails for you. It should be vertically
aligned with the "'" in the first line, but it is actually aligned with
the "b" of "blockdev-add".

Does removing one space of indentation in the last line fix the report?
