Description

 abstract class A {
   private void m() {
    println 'm'
  }
    
  void wrong() {
    m()
    Closure c = {
      m()
    }

    c()
  }
}

class B {
  A a = new A() {}
  
  void b() {
   a.wrong()
 }
}

def b = new B()
b.b()

Produces the following error:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: B.m() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
