This is caused by Test::Exception, and
 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=55179
reports similar problems with the CPAN Carp-Diagnostic distribution.

Possibly somebody should package
 http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Exception-LessClever/
which was apparently created to work around this precise bug.

Meanwhile, the attached ugly patch works for me.
