This occurs when the Graal inliner sees a constant Truffle AST node which allows a Truffle-specific inlining extension to perform Truffle partial evaluation (PE) on the constant. Such PE involves upcalls to the Truffle runtime (running in Java).

Closing this so @tzezula can open a new one for the same issue.
