Take the following code:

import java.lang.annotation.*;

interface Consumer {
    void method(String s);
}

class LambdaInInitBlock {
    {
        Consumer fn1 = (@TA String i) -> {};
    }
}

@Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)
@interface TA {}


This works correctly if the lambda is in a method/constructor. But with the lambda in the initializer block, javac 1.8 gives:
