    Ah yes. It's been fixed in bleedperl, but hasn't been backported to the 5.8.x branch (because it involved a change to the ordering of the various SV types and so broke binary compatibility)

      I appreciate knowing both that this was in fact a bug, and that is has actually already been fixed.

      Thank you for letting me know Dave!
