The page I linked to earlier doesn't read that way to me at all:

Returns a lazy list of IO::Path objects corresponding to the entries in a
directory, optionally filtered by smartmatching their names *as strings*
per the :test parameter. [...]  Objects corresponding to special directory
entries . and .. are not included.

It certainly seems odd that adding a filter can result in more elements
being returned than without one.

Anyway, I'll file a bug report shortly, to at least fix the documentation.
However, I reported a similar mismatch
<https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5303> a few years ago and
encountered a lot of resistance, ending with nothing being done, so I'm not
holding my breath.
