what's the difference in the repr between this and mentioning the pattern inline that causes this error?

That would be these lines in the literal pattern checking rules. Byte string literal patterns are assigned a slice reference type if the current scrutinee is known to be a slice reference, and otherwise default to the type of the literal (an array reference). Since that link's from the master branch, that's also where treat_byte_string_as_slice was assigned. There's no array unsizing logic for named constant patterns (type-checking code here), so it fails to unify &[u8] with &[u8;3]. If, hypothetically, that was special-cased, and the pattern was assigned the type &[u8] rather than the constant's type, then that example would work too (though without the change this PR makes, it'd also have to set treat_byte_string_as_slice or it'd be missing length checks).
