Using `$Blob1 ~= $Blob2` on jvm gives an error of "java.lang.RuntimeException​: This type does not support positional operations"

To reproduce​: `my Blob $a = "a".encode; my Blob $b = "b".encode; $a ~= $b; say $a.perl;`

I added debug prints but the output makes it appear that it should work​:
https://gist.github.com/ugexe/8a83f69fdb81bf989377

The above basically boils down to `nqp​::splice(utf8.new(), utf8.new(97), 0, 1)` but when I call this manually it works fine.

Resolved in rakudo/rakudo@d273e91

@ugexe - Status changed from 'new' to 'resolved'

From @ugexe

This has been reintroduced in the last 2 days

@ugexe - Status changed from 'resolved' to 'open'

From @usev6

This works now (again)​:

$ perl6-j -e 'my Blob $a = "a".encode; my Blob $b = "b".encode; $a ~= $b; say $a.perl'
utf8.new(97,98)

I added this evaluation as a test to S03-operators/buf.t. I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
