This looks to be a bug in Perl and may be related to this bug fix reported in perl585delta.pod:
Creating a new thread when weak references exist was buggy, and would often cause warnings at interpreter destruction time.
I'll investigate this further. Thanks.
Update:
After further investigation, I'm fairly sure this is a Perl bug. I could not reproduce the error you received under Cygwin or Solaris, but I did reproduce the warnings mentioned in the quote above. Further, 03-threads.t and 04-shared.t are nearly the same, and 04-shared.t successed for you. I can only recommend upgrading to Perl 5.8.7 if you can.
I'll make note of these sorts of issues in the bug section of the POD.
Remember: There's always one more bug.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
