Check the restrictions on the operands permissible in constant expressions;
I believe you will find that "agg" is not legal in an integer constant
expression, which is what's wanted in that context.

(At least, this is the way it is in the January draft; I have no idea what
the May draft says, since I haven't seen it yet.  Grr.)
