Yes, this is a bug in Rakudo. We're likely to be revising all of assignment and container semantics soon, so this should be done as part of that. In general, any container can contain an undefined type (S02), and per a conversation on #perl6 assigning a Failure object causes its associated exception to be marked as unhandled [1]. In fact, I suspect this is true for any cloning of a Failure object. 1. http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2008-10-27#i_650223 Thanks, Pm
