Research direction
Start by reading the archived RT91028 report linked in the issue, since the GitHub body contains no reproduction steps, files, or tests. Use its example to reproduce passing a list argument and trace the relevant Perl core behavior. Done means the argument no longer inserts undef elements into the list, with the behavior covered by a regression test.
