To be honest, I don't think any of us know what caused the r37061 bug in the first place to be able to formulate it into a test. Like you, I'm presuming that all of the other 'make test' scripts worked fine, and it was only when trying to compile Rakudo (perl6.pir) to perl6.pbc that we saw the bug.
