Summary

new import.defer('').prop and new import.source('').prop are accepted by webpack's parser but are SyntaxErrors per spec — ImportCall is a CallExpression, so it cannot be a new operand. The root cause is an acorn-import-phases bug: its parseExprImport override omits acorn core's !forNew guard, so phased dynamic imports are wrongly parsed as new operands (acorn core rejects bare new import(...) correctly). webpack already rejected the bare new import.defer('') form; this extends the walkNewExpression guard to descend the leftmost callee chain to the base ImportExpression, so property-access forms are rejected too, while parenthesized forms (new (import.defer('')).prop) stay valid. Also bumps test/test262-cases to de8e621, which adds the new conformance tests and was failing the test262 (2/2) job. Supersedes #21161 and tracked by the follow-up issue for removing the workaround once upstream is fixed.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — covered by the bumped test262 suite (expressions/dynamic-import/syntax/invalid/*-no-new-call-expression-prop-access.js).

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

n/a

Use of AI

AI (Claude) was used to investigate the failing test262 job, pinpoint the root cause in acorn-import-phases, implement the parser guard, and draft this PR.

…Error

ImportCall is a CallExpression per spec, so it cannot be the operand of
`new`. acorn rejects bare `new import(...)`, but acorn-import-phases
accepts `new import.defer(...)`/`new import.source(...)` and member
access on them. The existing walkNewExpression guard only covered the
bare callee; extend it to descend the leftmost callee chain to the base
ImportExpression so `new import.defer(x).prop` is rejected too, while
keeping parenthesized forms valid.

Also bump test/test262-cases to de8e621 which adds the new
no-new-call-expression-prop-access conformance tests.
