So, if you take Moose out of the picture, does the problem go away? That would be the first place I would suggest slicing the problem to narrow down the source (of the real bug that is exposed by the quoting of $self).

Though, I suspect trying that will point the finger at Moose not away from it. And finding a bug in the huge volumes of code that Moose pulls in could be a daunting task. But it doesn't look like your test case uses a lot of Moose features, so, if Moose appears required to reproduce the problem, then you can probably start cutting out bits on that side to narrow things down much smaller than just "something Moose requires".

For example, try replacing Moose with Mouse and see if the problem still exists.
