Why does Module::Build's testcover gives me "use of uninitialized value" warnings?

I'm kinda new to Module::Build, so maybe I did something wrong. Am I the only one who gets warnings when I change my dispatch from "test" to "testcover"? Is there a bug in Devel::Cover? Is there a bug in Module::Build? I probably just did something wrong.

I'm using ActiveState Perl v5.10.0 with Module::Build version 0.31012 and Devel::Cover 0.64 and Eclipse 3.4.1 with EPIC 0.6.34 for my IDE.
UPDATE: I upgraded to Module::Build 0.34 and the warnings are still output. *UPDATE: Looks like a bug in B::Deparse. Hope it gets fixed someday.*

Here's my unit test build file:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Build;

my $build = Module::Build->resume (
  properties => {
    config_dir => '_build',
  },
);

$build->dispatch('test');

When I run this unit test build file, I get the following output:

t\MyLib1.......ok 
t\MyLib2.......ok 
t\MyLib3.......ok 
All tests successful. 
Files=3, Tests=24,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr +  0.00 csys =  0.00 CPU)

But when I change the dispatch line to 'testcover' I get the following output which always includes a bunch of "use of uninitialized value in bitwise and" warning messages:
