This be Rakudo db84bc on Parrot r43174.

$ perl6 -e 'my $x; foo; sub foo { say $x }'
Use of uninitialized value

Fine. But now​:

$ perl6 -e 'foo; my $x; sub foo { say $x }'
Null PMC access in type()
[...]

In both programs, $x is clearly in scope when accessed, so this is not
one of the open "variable access before declaration" tickets. (Even
though it might have similar causes.) So I doubt that the latter of
the programs should be illegal. Even if it were, it shan't produce a
Null PMC access.

$ ./perl6 -e 'foo; my $x; sub foo { say $x }'
Any()

looks good to me - taking for test coverage.
