I have no idea. And I just spent a few hours wading through the N1570
draft of the C standard on a related issue. In particular, this is
worrying:

6.3.1.3

3   Otherwise, the new type is signed and the value cannot be represented
    in it; either the result is implementation-defined or an
    implementation-defined signal is raised.

I don't think the absence of a cast matters.

Surely some better language lawyer can tell us the answer...
