Comment(by whiteknight):
Thanks for the testcase Patrick. You're right that I am very surprised by
that result. In fact, I'm much more surprised that it hadn't been flagged
as a bug beforehand. This rabbithole keeps going deeper.
src/packfile.c:Parrot_load_bytecode() calls
src/packfile.c:compile_of_load_file(), which calls
src/interp/inter_misc.c:Parrot_compile_file(), which calls
compilers/imcc/parser_util.c:imcc_compile_file() which does compile the
PIR down but doesn't trigger any of the :load or :init functions. The
:load functions are then triggered back in compile_or_load_file, but only
for the special case of .pir or .pasm files (it's triggered automatically
for .pbc files, like it should be).
So there is one mystery down.
