---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class A {
public static void main(String...a) {
java.util.concurrent.Callable<?> c = new A()::clone;
}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Bug does not occur when I use a lambda calling the clone method, fe. replacing " a::clone ", with " () -> a.clone() ".
