What the heck is "array context"? No such beast. And if you mean
"list context", then arrow has no more context forcing than a comma.
Both of them inherit context depending on their use.
For example,
$n = (15 => 30);
puts 30 in $n, as the second item evaluated. Replacing arrow with
comma will make that clear.

And yes, this is broken.
