When adding from the current directory, an implicit "-Ilib" should be added, and is not, as shown by the list of includes:

/home/cbwood/.pakku/.stage/1696619032.097082
/home/cbwood/.raku
/home/cbwood/.rakubrew/versions/moar-blead/install/share/perl6/site

When adding from the current directory, an implicit "-Ilib" should be added

I disagree, because -Ilib is more of a helper for development process. However, Installation uses META6.json. When installing a distribution Rakudo looks in provides key in META6.json file for provided modules.

In this case it looks like GIO::Raw::Distro is missing from META6.json file. Adding it I think it will resolve the issue.

fwiw (I dont think it is a good idea, but its possible) you can run RAKULIB=lib pakku add . which will add lib to the repo-chain.
