There are skipped tests in S32-str/split-simple.t which die with the following error mode​:

$ perl6-j -e 'say "a b".split(/\s/, :v)'
java.lang.RuntimeException​: Cannot access a native attribute as a reference attribute
  in block <unit> at -e​:1

Moar gives the following output​:

$ perl6-m -e 'say "a b".split(/\s/, :v)'
(a ｢ ｣ b)

If one splits on a literal whitespace, the command does not die (same output on Moar)​:

$ perl6-j -e 'say "a b".split(" ", :v)'
(a b)

Fixed in Rakudo commit 0b6328c.
