All of Rakudo's parameter passing currently has issues, especially for things that aren't simple scalars. We're aware of it and working it out, but since so much other code has been layered on top of the current code (multisubs, method definitions, multidispatch, type checking, list assignment, etc.) it's not a trivial fix.
