Bug introduced in 10.1 and fixed in 10.3

The following TimelinePlot behaves as I would expect:

TimelinePlot[{
   <|"key1" -> Interval[{{2010, 1, 1}, {2011, 1, 1}}],"key2" -> {2012, 4, 1}|>, 
   <|"key1" -> Interval[{{2010, 3, 1}, {2011, 1, 1}}],"key2" -> {2012, 1, 2}|>}]

enter image description here

However, if the keys of the second association are changed, the plot does not work:

TimelinePlot[{
   <|"key1" -> Interval[{{2010, 1, 1}, {2011, 1, 1}}],"key2" -> {2012, 4, 1}|>, 
   <|"hello" -> Interval[{{2010, 3, 1}, {2011, 1, 1}}],"goodbye" -> {2012, 1, 2}|>}]

enter image description here

Are datasets required to have the same keys? That seems like a peculiar requirement.

    $\begingroup$ That's interesting; I'll report it. As a workaround, you can change this to using Labeled, instead: TimelinePlot[Map[KeyValueMap[Labeled[#2, #1] &, #] & @ data]. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I find the documentation a bit ambiguous here. The wording wrt the third syntax and Associations could perhaps be interpreted to say that the whole argument should be contained in a single Association containing all events. All examples with associations that I have seen do this (no curly braces), so the syntax you're using might not be intended. $\endgroup$
