Broken just temporarily, right? (Score:2)
Seems like the solution is to declare that this mechanism is broken for now, and fix it so that it works with the debugger, as well as fix the compiler so that it generates a warning or error when return is called from an lvalued subroutine.
The tiny little amount of syntactic sugar may indeed be worth it for some people, particularly if the option to fix the bug you're reporting is open.

That's great news. I noted your editor trims whitespace at the end of lines and that makes it rather hard to read the patch, but I'm still quite happy to see this :)
