I see that EnumWithFields.java has "interesting" enum constants like:

   VALUEA(By.linkText("G"),"H")

The ArgumentList for an enum constant is the same ArgumentList as for a 
MethodInvocation, so any argument to a method call can be an argument to 
an enum constant. Just follow the ArgumentList's Expression all the way 
down to Primary.

By the way, please report suspected JLS bugs via the list given at 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-1.html#jls-1.5
