SYCL 2020 prohibits kernel lambdas from using reference captures at all. I hope that we'll eventually issue a diagnostic that more specifically reflects that restriction; from the user perspective, it might not be well understood how captures end up becoming kernel arguments. How would you feel about limiting tests to references within types that are captured by value (which includes cases like `L` below that exercise capturing a non-kernel lambda by value)? Alternatively, we can issue these diagnostics now with an expectation that they might change later; which is fine.
