As for the current issue you're experiencing, it seems you can't
initialize a nested class in the way you're trying to:
$ perl6 -e 'class A { class A::B {} }; A::B.new'
Null PMC access in find_method('new')
$ perl6 -e 'class A { class B {} }; A::B.new; say "alive"'
alive
There's already a bug in RT pertaining to a similar issue
(<http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=69316>), but I'll
submit yours as a separate one.
