MissingPropertyEx when accessing private static field in closure of same class

When accessing a private static final field from a Closure within the same class Groovy 4 throws a MissingPropertyException. The code works in Groovy 2.5.22 & 3.0.18.

The real instance of the object needs to be a subtype of the class containing the constant.

See attached code to reproduce.

Expected behavior:
The code runs without error

Actual behavior:
Groovy 4 throws:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: field for class: FirstEvent
    at BaseEvent$_init_closure1.doCall(Test.groovy:7)
    at BaseEvent.init(Test.groovy:7)
    at Test.run(Test.groovy:15)

Notes:
Interestingly if you remove the static keyword from private static final String field = "name"
it fails in all three versions 2.5.22, 3.0.18 & 4.0.13 with a MissingPropertyException.
I would expect that the code should also work for these cases.

The problem came up in a discussion about a Spock issue #1544.
