Worth nothing the OP's expected is not correct. The result should be string '$x', as the backslash would escape the sigil and prevent it from being interpolated. It actually works right-er when using `q` instead of `Q` quoter, but the backslash remains unremoved​:

m​: my $x = 42; say q​:s​:b{\$x}
rakudo-moar 4a37de​: OUTPUT​: «\$x␤»
m​: my $x = 42; say Q​:s​:b{\$x}
rakudo-moar 4a37de​: OUTPUT​: «\42␤»

Thank you for the report. This is now fixed.
