It might just be a bug. Perl6 is obviously still under heavy construction. I haven't compiled or used the existing version at all, but it certainly looks like what you have should do the same thing as in Perl5. I would contact the Perl6 developers and ask them. Perhaps they know about it and it's being worked on, or they don't know and it could help them out.
