There was some progress on this. jnthn++ I guess the most promising commit regarding this issue is https://github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/commit/0d2e5f8cc0264eb495ea4f20f3a0c90d05d55710 , but there's at least one other commit that could've improved the situation ( https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/c59b986785fe17f53e1664af1aa60e785ff31624 ).
I will test this again after we have MoarVM bumped (or sooner if I have time).
