Not weird at all, just works as documented.
So change to either:
$hash{ +SOME_CONSTANT } = 'value 1';

of your hash keys you would f

Why is it so? This is crazy.
This is one of the drawbacks to the constant pragma. Change the code
hash keys to one of these and it will work the way you want it to:
$hash{+SOME_CONSTANT} #unary plus
