Others have answered your question, but this looks to me like an opportunity for us to improve the error message. Attempting to use #selector() with a string literal like this seems like a natural thing to try, and we could offer better diagnostics for this case. If you have a moment, would you be able to file a bug to improve the diagnostics in this case?
