This seems to require several files to reproduce.

t.pl:

use v6;
use A::A;
say "alive";

A/A.pm:

module A::A;
use A::B;

A/B.pm:

module A::B;

role B { }
class D does A::B::B { }

upon running t.pl, this happens:

The type A::B::B does not exist. at line 6, near "{ }\n"

This does not appear to happen if the modules are not grouped into a
namespace such as the A in this example.

Fixed in git 8207372.

Assigning to moritz++ to get a test case added to the spectests.
