char, signed char and unsigned char are three distinct types. [3.9.1]/1
char will have the same underlying properties as one of the other two,
but it is still a distinct type.

you are right it is a bug, the typedef should not effect overload
resolution. the char->signed char is an integral conversion, char->int is
an integral promotion (so is preferred)
