As another datapoint on what *might* be the same bug, there are two
PGE failures I get regressing Pugs using embedded Parrot, saying
something like:
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected ']'
in file 'EVAL_6' line 99
Which seems similar though not identical to Allison's error message.
Anyway, it still fails using TEST_PROG_ARGS=-G on the Pugs test, though
I don't know if the embedding interface examines TEST_PROG_ARGS.
And it could well be a Pugs bug, though the fact that that tests
pass with external rather than embedded Parrot seems to indicate not.
That's all FWIW. No time to pursue it further, unfortunately...
