I'm not very conversant on Moose, but from your description I would 
think that you want to manipulate $Test::Builder::Level within the 
"around" blocks for the delegated methods. You don't have any control 
over the mechanism that delegates, so you can't splice in there. But you 
can add such a line in the around-code. Of course, it will be brittle, 
as you say, because a subtle change in Moose internals could change the 
number of stack frames either in delegation or in the application of 
around-code. But that is the first thing I would try, at least.
