[Bug c++/15330] inconsistent slicing on cast of int to enum

No, the change was fully intentional. 
 
Possible optimizations involve applying bitmasks. For example, 
  enum E { a=0x100 }; 
  E foo (); 
 
  int bar () { 
    return foo() & 0x200; 
  } 
can clearly be optimized away. If gcc isn't already doing such things, 
then it will very likely do in the future.
