I first mentioned this on p5p in " Clarifying smart match behaviour in when( ... && ... )" at http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl5.porters/browse_thread/thread/5f5d24422227e57a/2c2aa46cdeabcbcc?lnk=st&q=smart+match+foy#2c2aa46cdeabcbcc

With && in a when() and when both arguments are arrays and hashes, the smart match doesn't come out right. If it is coming out right, then there needs to be a doc fix. No one has spoken up to say it should be one way or the other.

Here's a patch to t/op/switch.t that tests the problem in three different cases:
