"VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack" when Class with var extends class with lambda

[jlprat]

It seems that when we have a class with a var as a member that extends a class that has a lambda as a member the class is not instantiable at runtime.
I check current reported bugs and this is not like any of the others already reported for "Bad type on operand stack".

Compiler version

3.0.2 and 3.1.0-RC2

Minimized code

This code compiles in Scala 3 and in Scala 2. You can find a reproducer here

class ClassWithLambda(sup: () => Long)
class ClassWithVar(var msg: String) extends ClassWithLambda(() => 1)
val _ = new ClassWithVar("foo")

def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
  println("it worked")
}

Output

When we run the previous code in Scala 3.x we get the following output.

Expectation

Code should run in Scala 3 (3.0.2 and 3.1.0-RC2) as it runs in Scala 2.

it worked

Notes

Please note that the following does compile and run in Scala 3.x and 2.13.

class ClassWithLambda(sup: () => Long)
class ClassWithoutVar(msg: String) extends ClassWithLambda(() => 1)

class ClassWithoutLambda(something: Int)
class ClassWithVarExtendingNotLambda(var msg: String) extends ClassWithoutLambda(1)

val _ = new ClassWithoutVar("foo") // This can be instantiated at runtime
val _ = new ClassWithVarExtendingNotLambda("foo") // This can be instantiated at runtime

def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
  println("it worked")
}

Workaround:

class ClassWithLambda(sup: () => Long)
class ClassWithVar(_msg: String) extends ClassWithLambda(() => 1) {
  var msg: String = _msg
}

[jlprat]

Yes true! I forgot to add the workaround. I came up with the same one.
