No idea - maybe you should talk to the authors of your profiler modules to
see if they still maintain them and are willing to fix them?

AnyEvent itself is written in pure perl, so a profiler should be able to
run it without any fuss.

The statement causing this is apparently:

   goto &{ UNIVERSAL::can AnyEvent => "SUPER::$name" }

which might indicate that the profilers can't cope with goto, which would
be a serious bug, as goto is extremely commonly used for autoloading.
