Actually, that's a more interesting case than I had originally realized. See C2x 6.7.2.1p12. "If the value 0 or 1 is stored into a nonzero-width bit-field of type bool, the value of the bit-field shall compare equal to the value stored; a bool bit-field has the semantics of a bool." So if you store a 1 into a bool bit-field, you have to get a 1 back out of it. The bit-field is implicitly unsigned, effectively.
