The bug is also triggered by the test scripts when building the
package.

The bug report at CPAN points out the leading space after the opening
quote, and indeed there's an interesting comment in the source code:

lib/Class/MethodMaker/Engine.pm:

779  # Generate a unique stash name for the sub.  Use a preceding space
780  # to avoid collisions with anything in the Perl space.
781  Class::MethodMaker::set_sub_name($code, $target, $name, " ${target}::${name}");

Removing the leading space shuts up the warnings when running the
tests during build; I'm just not sure about any possible side effects
...

Cheers,
gregor
