Description:
------------
<?php
// this works:
$class = new MyClass();
echo $class::constant."\n"; // As of PHP 5.3.0

// this doesn't but should:
class Foo
{
  public function __construct()
  {
    $this->bar=new MyClass();
    echo $this->bar::constant;
  }
}

Constants are like static fields, you're supposed to access them statically.

Even if you were to disagree, this is by design; it's not a bug.
