There's a known problem that we can't yet do outer lexicals from
things that look like BEGIN blocks (in Parrot terms -- things that
happen at :load :init time). I don't know when/how this will
be fixed.

Since the body of class declarations happens at BEGIN time, the
initialization of $y is occurring before $x is initialized
(or even vivified). Granted, Rakudo should not be generating
the Null PMC access message, but I also wouldn't expect $.y
to be initialized to 'foo'.
