[...] Objects corresponding to special directory entries . and .. are not included. It certainly seems odd that adding a filter can result in more elements being returned than without one. Anyway, I'll file a bug report shortly, to at least fix the documentation. However, I reported a similar mismatch <https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5303> a few years ago and encountered a lot of resistance, ending with nothing being done, so I'm not holding my breath.
