FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b17, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Having static fields in an annotation type initialized by a lambda expression results in the annotations not being available in runtime.
This seems to happen in specific cases only. The following static fields work without problems:
Consumer<Integer> f2 = new B(); //with B a class implementing Consumer<Integer>
Consumer<Integer> f3 = C::eat; //with C::eat begin a static method
int f4 = 5;
Supplier<Integer> f5 = ()->5;
Consumer<Integer> f6 = new Consumer<Integer>() {
    public void accept(Integer t) {}
};

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the unit test, execute.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The test succeeds. The annotation can be retrieved using reflection.
ACTUAL -
 The test fails. the annotation is not available.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.util.function.Consumer;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

@i
public class AnnotationWithStaticLambda extends TestCase {
public void testAnnotationWithStaticLambda() throws Exception {
assertEquals(1, myAnnotMinimal2.class.getAnnotations().length);
}

}
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface i {
Consumer<Integer> f1 = a -> {return;}; // -> 0
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Using an instance of a class instead of a lambda works.
