NP, it’s a good way for me to pick up the disparate Perl 6 clues
I picked up haphazardly over time, too.

These definitely sound like bugs – both of them.

Yes, `.kv` is supposed to work on arrays, where it returns a list
of `$index => $value` pairs. This is very high on the list of
Perl 6 features I am anticipating eagerly, as it means you can
use natural `for(LIST)` constructs even when you need indices
while iterating, instead of having to use the familiar ugly
construction from Perl 5:
for my $i ( 0 .. $#array ) {
# use both $i and $array[ $i ] here
}
In Perl 6, indexing into `@array` explicitly will *not* be
necessary here. Hooray!
