Bisecting shows this started working with this upstream change:

[ 29837] By: davem                                 on 2007/01/15  18:19:20
        Log: when cloning  PL_regex_pad, copy SVf_BREAK flag too
     Branch: perl
           ! sv.c

This got in 5.10.0, so closing the perl bug accordingly.

I'm leaving the libmoose-perl bug open at least for now. Moose upstream
should probably be informed. The feature is still documented as
experimental in 5.10.0, but it's not 'highly experimental' anymore :)

Cheers,
