This looks very version dependent, and I would not have expected it to be
version dependent at all.
Summary of behavior across versions. True means `given any(4,3) { when 3...`
does match just like its converse, and False means it does not match.
I have noted possible false negatives; 3 of the docker build have MoarVM
versions newer than the Rakudo versions. Possible build error?
False 2020.[1..2] (But suspect, since the VM reported version 2020.12)
True 2020.[5..9]
False 2020.10 (But suspect, since the VM reported version 2020.12)
True 2020.11
False 2020.12 through nightly (which was 4 hours ago)
Full detail:
(All run on JJ's alpine docker images (Thanks JJ!), but on a Windows box (hence
the double-quotes), because Docker is hosed on my Macbook.)

In https://github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/master/docs/ChangeLog , I see nothing
in 2020.11 that looks like the culprit.
In https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/master/docs/ChangeLog , I see nothing
in 2020.11 that looks like the culprit, but that big change in coersion ("new
coertion semantics”) was big enough to make that a good candidate for proper
bisecting.
(but not by me; I am out of time for this week)
