It was actually a B bug, fixed with 5.16.
For 5.12 and 5.14 I'd need to fix all the B modules against BM being
reported as GV with this special line.
Since those 2 versions are not supported anymore I patched it privately.

Yes, it is fixed since 5.16.
I consider adding a patch to perlall for 5.1[24], or maybe adding
a 5.14.5 for our purposes, as I had to add a few more fixes to
maint-5.14 already.

more patches coming. B::*, hash security and performance, and some more.
