I'm baffled.  I copied you code and indeed.  I added Put_Line just to make sure there is something in the body and to see the output :-P.

When applying this again on my package I get my previous errors.  I tried to moved up my private declarations of the constants into the visible part, no relieve.  I moved the constant declaration right after the type declaration no solution neither.  The error message is very clear and I can't disagree with them:
: non-static constant in preelaborated unit
: static expression must have scalar or string type (RM 4.9(2))

I've noticed that error messages can change because of other errors.  I had that on certain occasions.  Maybe, as in some other cases, the compiler just missed to moan in your example but do actually fail with respect to the standards.
