Why is actor class constructor not shared?

Is MyActor.MyActor a shared function or no? The below looks like a contradiction or even a compiler bug:

  • MyActor.MyActor is called like a shared function using await.

  • At the same source file, it is assigned to a non-shared function variable (if I uncomment shared, it becomes a compile error).

// MyActor.mo
shared actor class MyActor() {
};

// Main.mo
import MyActor "MyActor";

actor Test {
  func test(): async MyActor.MyActor {
    await MyActor.MyActor()
  };

  let c: /*shared*/ () -> async MyActor.MyActor = MyActor.MyActor;
}
