This is a very old ticket and we no longer have postcircumfix:<( )> for objects.
If you redo the example to use CALL-ME it still does not call the original class method, however, CALL-ME is defined as a submethod, not a method, and testing the difference: $ perl6 -e 'class S { method x { "Sx".say } }; role T { method x { "Sy".say; callsame } }; class V is S does T { }; my $v = V.new; $v.x' Sy Sx $ perl6 -e 'class S { submethod x { "Sx".say } }; role T { method x { "Sy".say; callsame } }; class V is S does T { }; my $v = V.new; $v.x' Sy ...so while there may still be an "issue" if there's no way to "do that" in a modern rakudo, perhaps best to write up a new github issue and close this.
