As seen in S26-documentation/block-leading.t and S26-documentation/block-trailing.t​:

role Boxer {
#|{Robert De Niro}
method actor { }
}

my $method = Boxer.^find_method('actor');
say $method.WHY; # should be "Robert De Niro"

=begin output
(Any)
=end output

This test has been failing since d9246fdab869d799f9b28552e2c6a7c16a0a4810, because that commit made .^ no longer pun roles. Role puns successfully return a Method whose WHY is correct; RolePunning.find_method returns a wrapper code that has no WHY. Unfortunately, since the wrapper is an NQP anonymous function, we can't set its WHY.

There should also be a test for multi methods in roles to make sure their WHYs pass on properly.
