I've a possible explanation.

Thanks for thinking along.

perl6-readline depends field is:

  Depends: libreadline8, raku-api-2021.09

rakudo tracker is set with:

  Affected: .depends ~ /^raku-api-/

This fails if the regexp is applied to the *whole* Depends field value because
the regexp is anchored to the beginning of the string.

True, that's why I was pretty sure that ben only considers individual entries. But I just checked the ben documentation [1] and believe you are right. Particularly this:
"""
Packages fields may contain a list of values comma-separated. Ben splits the list before looking with "…​" for a match.
"""
which suggest that doesn't apply to regular expressions and I see loads of (^|\s) in other ben files.
