Thanks. I only found one such place (Perl_magic_set) and have committed:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/41cb7b2b

Whether there is something more general that ought to be done to lvalues is well beyond my skill level. It took me a long time just to sort out that the L in PVLV stands for lvalue, not lexical, local, long, or any of the other l-words that came to mind first.
