Here's what I believe to be a "correct" implementation although it doesn't work with my copy of pugs.

It's a slightly functional way of doing it. (Assuming my understanding of lexically-scoped subs is correct) I set up a recursive "incrementer" function which increments one position of @pos and "carries over" via a recursive call. It's tail-recursive, so if the compiler is smart, we don't lose a lot by making it recursive instead of iterative. 

sub NestedLoops (*@loop) returns Ref {
    my @pos = 0 xx (@loop.elems - 1), -1;

    my sub incr($i) {
        if ( ++@pos[$i] == @loop[$i].elems ) {
            @pos[$i] = 0;
            return $i ?? incr($i - 1) :: 0;
        }
        return 1;
    };

    return sub {
       incr(@loop.end) or return;
       zip(@loop, @pos) ==> map -> $a, $i { $a[$i] };
    };
};

my $iter = NestedLoops( [0..2], [0..2] );
my @group;

while ( @group = $iter() ) {
     say ~@group;
}

From what I can tell, there are two things currently holding back pugs: You can fix that by just substituting Limbic~Region's map statement for the line containing zip. I was hoping there would be an even easier way to write this line. Something like: 
  @loops >>.[]<< @pos

But pugs didn't like that..
