What I did

$/ := "Uhoh";
put "Foo".subst​: /Foo/, ->

$/ {$

$/ {$

What I expected

FooFooFooFoo

What I got

FooFooUhohUhoh

Is it a bug?

The way it's working now might make sense from a purist pov but not a pragmatic or Perlish one imo. I'm hoping this will be obvious to whoever reads this so I'll defer giving a detailed rationale for calling this a bug in the anticipation that it won't be necessary. :)

Does it look like any other bug?

Yes, at least the previously resolved s/// bug #​118705.

I ended up reverting the tests and the fix. There was fallout from ~20 modules due to this
and it feels to me having method forms mess with $/ is going against the grain for how the
users tend to use these routines.

I filed another Issue rakudo/rakudo#1235 for this problem.
