Right.  I was surprised by this, but conversion of out-of-range values between
integral types is treated differently in the standard from overflow in
arithmetic operations.

4.7:

If the destination type is signed, the value is unchanged if it can be
represented in the destination type (and bit-field width); otherwise, the value
is implementation-defined.

So, the testcase is OK.  I think this bug is actually closely related to 49855,
as the fix for that bug also fixes this one for me.
