Not base64, but this should be easy to reproduce:

  $ printf '{\n\t"list": [\n\t\t{},\n\t\t{}\n\t]\n}\n' > test.json

  $ jq < test.json 
  {
    "list": [
      {},
      {}
    ]
  }

  $ yamllint test.json 
  test.json
    2:1       error    syntax error: found character '\t' that cannot start any token (syntax)
