I'd guess that many extensions don't handle magic properly. Extension authors rarely add the extra logic, even if they know what logic needs to be added. Same possible applies to more obscure parts of perl. Proof of concept, for anyone that has the time: modify perl with a #idef so that all values are tainted but disable the tainted expression exception so that they're harmless. See what tests fail.
