Short description of error
bone constraint eyedropper doesn't work when opening a 3.63 file in blender 4.1
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Thank you for the report, @3di.
I've checked the file and the issue with the bone constraint eyedropper persisting in Blender 4.1.0 Alpha.
While you mentioned it worked in version 3.63, I also experienced the same issue when attempting to open the file in 3.63.
It seems the issue is specific to this file.
I can confirm the bug.
This is because
XRayis turned ONIt doesnt affect all modes (e.g. in objectmode, this is still fine), XRay has different meanings in different modes.
For armature posemeode, codewise this will enable
V3D_OVERLAY_BONE_SELECT(this will end up only bones being selectable -- and since the eyedropper uses the same selection under the hood, this will also end up for the eyedropper to not pick anything else but armature IDs).
Honestly, not sure if this should be considered a bug, there are many ways for the eyedropper to not function as in: whenever something is not selectable (you could also just turn of selectability for an object in the Outliner), it wont be considered in the eyedropper.
So it will work again if you turn OFF either this
or this
I assume this is by design, will ask around in chat though...

I see. So it appears that in pose mode the eyedropper works with .toggle_xray enabled, but the xray toggle in pose mode doesn't call bpy.ops.view3d.toggle_xray(), instead it calls bpy.data.screens['Layout'].overlay.show_xray_bone, which seems to visually do exactly the same as turning on bpy.data.objects["metarig"].show_in_front. The only difference is that the picker still works with show_in_front.
Perhaps the solution would be to make the xray button set show_in_front in pose mode rather than show_xray_bone? Unless it has some other difference that's useful?
The fade geometry shouldn't really be tied to whether the bones are in front? Incidentally geometry doesn't become transparent as suggested by the tooltip, it becomes black:
