Got it, thanks.  In fact, I simplified to this:

            Object foo = (Int64)0;
            Int64 foo64 = (Int64)foo;
            Int32 foo6432 = (Int32)(Int64)foo;
            Int32 foo32 = (Int32)foo;	// Throws InvalidCastException

And I confirmed the behavior is the same in .Net and Mono.  So everything makes sense; it's just something I didn't know before.
