It looks to me like the tests already in S04-statements/return.t should
suffice, no?
(This appears to be another case where a bug filed and fixed during the
craziness of the 2015 release and GLR was not followed up in RT
by closing the ticket.)
Since MVM_* environment variables are not part of the Perl 6 specification,
tests for those cases aren't a matter for roast... possibly they could
go in the rakudo tree, but it would probably be better to figure out how to golf
that SEGV down into an nqp one-liner... rakudo can no longer produce the
situation that caused that SEGV, so... where to follow that thread I dunno.
