How are you using Babel?

@babel/cli

Input code

function v1() {
    let v1 = new.target;    
}
var v3 = new v1();

Here is the REPL

Configuration file name

babel.config.json

Configuration

{
  "sourceType": "unambiguous",
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env"],
  "plugins": [
    "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime"
  ]
}

Current and expected behavior

Inside the function, this bug will be triggered when the variable name and function name happen to be the same and the variable is a new target. The transpiled code run by node will report the following error:

 var v1 = this instanceof v1 ? this.constructor : void 0;
                ^

TypeError: Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not an object
