[12:35:07]  <lizmat>    m: for ^2 { NEXT .say }  # feels like a rakudobug

[12:35:54]  <lizmat>    moritz: agree ?
[12:37:49]  <moritz>    lizmat: yes

Same for LAST:

$ 6 'for ^10 { LAST .say }'
Cannot call method 'say' on a null object

Not for FIRST, LEAVE, PRE, UNDO
$ 6 'for ^1 { FIRST .say }'
0
$ 6 'for ^1 { LEAVE .say }'
0
$ 6 'for ^1 { PRE .say }’
0
$ 6 'for ^1 { UNDO .say }’
0
$ 6 'for ^1 { KEEP .say; 1 }’
0

POST has a different failure mode:

$ 6 'for ^1 { POST .say }’
Nil
