I get the sense there's an expectation that rakudo should always build
and run cleanly against parrot head. I don't recall this ever being
explicitly supported, and I think that it is not feasible in the
general case (I do agree that in this specific case it would have been
a possibility).

It is possible bisect on known-good rakudo-parrot combinations, just
use the version specified in rakudo/build/PARROT_REVISION.
