Passing a non-`const` trait function item value to a `const fn` is no longer allowed in a constant context

Code

I tried this code:

const _: () = core::mem::forget(Box::<u32>::default);       // ERROR
const _: () = core::mem::forget(|| Box::<u32>::default());  // ok

(Playground)

I expected to see this happen: Successful compilation

Instead, this happened:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `Box<u32>: Default` is not satisfied
 --> src/lib.rs:1:15
  |
1 | const _: () = core::mem::forget(Box::<u32>::default);
  |               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `~const Default` is not implemented for `Box<u32>`
  |
note: the trait `Default` is implemented for `Box<u32>`, but that implementation is not `const`
 --> src/lib.rs:1:15
  |
1 | const _: () = core::mem::forget(Box::<u32>::default);
  |               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
