It does (and always did) for lexicals:
% perl -w -e 'my @i=(); if(defined(@i)) { print "foo\n"; }'
defined(@array) is deprecated at -e line 1.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
Apparently the same isn't true for global variables for some reason.
This is still the case for 5.10.0. I think 'normal' is an overrated
severity for this, so downgrading.
