Reporting it in Debian would help a long way towards fixing it.
Doing that now as I happened to notice the thread.

A couple of weeks ago it would have had a better chance for making it
into the upcoming wheezy release; it may well be too late now. OTOH as
a regression from squeeze it may still be eligible.

I'm attaching a slightly more compact version of the test script at
[perl #116621]. It consistently fails for me on sid/amd64 (perl 5.14.2)
but succeeds on squeeze (perl 5.10.1).

This is fixed in 5.15.4 by 
 http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/be48bbe8d671b6841c3ec7cb734b98071afe3cd9
which is also attached for convenience. 

I've verified that the patch applies to our 5.14.2 package and fixes
the issue.
