This is really:
(defun foo ())
(byte-compile 'foo)
> (byte-compile (lambda () nil)) => #[...]
This happens to be the same as
(byte-compile '(lambda () nil))
which is the preferred form to call it.

Indeed, this is not supported currently: (symbol-function 'foo) is
a closure rather than a lambda expression, and byte-compile doesn't know
how to compile a closure.
> (byte-compile (lambda () nil)) => nil
This fails because you're passing it a closure rather than
a lambda-expression (i.e. same problem as for `defun' above).
This works: (byte-compile '(lambda () nil))
