rakudo commit​: db84bc06990c37b93fe987dcffab4ed9bf31de92
build/PARROT_REVISION​: 43076 1.9.0

nadim@​naquadim rakudo (master)$ ./perl6 nadim_test.pl
=begin without =end at line 2, near "\nsub A() {"
in Main (file <unknown>, line <unknown>)

a simple "=begin\n" in a text file is enough

=begin without matching =end at line 1, near "\n"

This looks reasonable to me (and it's more than you get from p5). What
are you expecting here?

The empty begin now has an even more helpful message​:

./perl6 foo
===SORRY!===
=begin must be followed by an identifier; (did you mean "=begin pod"?)
at line 1, near "\n"

I think this is closable with tests.
