I understand that they work in those languages, and that they don't work 
when directly translated into Java, because Java 'closures' lack a 
feature provided by the other languages.

To put it another way, if you regard your original example as written in 
a fictional language similar to Java - one that supports MLC, and so 
doesn't throw an error back at you - it would be equivalent to each of 
the Groovy/Kotlin/Scala examples you listed.
