The first case doesn't manipulate the inheritance trees based upon an instance. For one thing, the Perl6 model won't affect instance2 just because instance1 does Foo. That is probably the biggest difference.
The second thing is that the trait Thief will not override methods that already exist in the inheritance tree of $elf. It will add the Thief methods as a fallback, should they be needed. And, it does it until you remove the Thief trait. A12 has a lot to say on the topic, which is good.
