Error message seems much more helpful now, but is still not "STD-compliant".

22:54 < [Coke]> rakudo: class Foo { method bar { Quux.parse('OH HAI'); } }; 
                grammar Quux { rule TOP { .* } }; Foo.bar;
22:55 <+p6eval> rakudo 2808a5: OUTPUT«Could not find sub &Quux␤  in 'Foo::bar' 
                at line 22:/tmp/bZA2BcFVXe␤  in main program body at line 
                22:/tmp/bZA2BcFVXe␤»
