As far as I can see, yes. The first two are lazy Ranges. The second two are non-lazy WhateverCodes. And as jnthn++ pointed out "The array subscripter decides whether to auto-viv for not based on .is-lazy". The reason it does so is so things like `my @a; @a[3..5] = 1 xx *; say @a` autovivicate, while still letting you do stuff like `@a[2..*]` to get a truncated result. In the example you point out as problematic, you're exploiting the autovivication feature to create an infinite loop, hence the hang. Is there still an issue on this ticket not covered by those explanations?
