See [JDK-8208752: Calling a deserialized Lambda might fail with ClassCastException](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8208752).

Lambda deserialization currently does not consider `SerializedLambda#getInstantiatedMethodType` when deserializing lambdas, which can lead to method references that differ only in `getInstantiatedMethodType` being merged into the same lambda instance, and can result in `ClassCastException`s like the one reported in the bug.

This depends on the fix for [JDK-8374654: Inconsistent handling of lambda deserialization for Object method references on interfaces](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8374654) in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/29075.
