This expression in lambda in early construction context

[Ella Ananeva]

Hi,
I understand that JEP 482 allows to refer to this in the early construction context if this expression is in the left part of an assignment expression:

class Test {
    int a;

    Test() {
        this.a = 1;
        super();
    }
}

This compiles just fine (I have JDK 23 build 25).
However, when I try to do the same in a lambda body, I get a compilation error:

interface Foo {
   void foo();
}

class Test {
    int a;

    Test() {
        Foo lmb = () -> { this.a = 1;};
        super();
    }
}
Test.java:9:27
java: cannot reference this before supertype constructor has been called

Is lambda body some special case?

Thank you,
Ella Ananeva
