I am just looking into this. The problem seems to be that chained casts
are simplified into single cast. During this folding, the convert is
called again, now with incorrect values.
I am not quite sure how to go off here. When I change code to generate
the nested casts for such situations, I end up in infinite recursion,
when I change code to allow the conversion, I die later in convert_move
where I guess I can't handle this properly anymore as the signedness bit
is lost, but I am investigating.
