No, according to the code coerce will always fire for a default, I think the problem is ...


has data => (
   is      => 'rw',
   isa     => 'split_types',
   coerce  => 1,
   default => sub{ () },
);

'default' is returning nothing here, it should be returning []

# THIS TEST FAILS!
lives_ok { My::Test->new }, q{~shouldn't~ this pass?};

I suspect that if you printed out the exception, it would tell you that the value returned from default did not pass the type constraint.
