I think this is MS C# compiler bug, the conversion is ambiguous as `x' can be
converted to int (0) and literal 0 can be converted to byte.

There should be no type promotion to avoid this like this

var x = true ? x : 0;  // csc compiles this as int which I think is wrong as
your intentions are unclear, did you want to define int or byte ?

To write it correctly (as C# standard defines) use

byte a = true ? x : (byte) 0;
