The relevant spec is probably S05:355
When you write
rule TOP { ^ <stuff> $ }
this is the same as
token TOP { ^ <.ws> <stuff> <.ws> $ <.ws> }
discussed with jonathan at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2012-02-05#i_5106223
A test should probably added spec/S05-grammar/ws.t :
grammar A { rule TOP { ^ } };
ok ?A.parse(' '), 'no <.ws> shoved before ^';
