I've boiled it down to this:

bool flag() {
	bool left, right;
	return true ? cast(const bool)left : cast(bool)right;
}

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (cast(int)left) of type int to bool

It seems like whenever the left and right sides differ in const-ness or invariant-ness, dmd tries to convert the left side to an int. Can anyone confirm or explain?

Please don't be so quick to shove me off the first page. At least drop it in dmd real quick and confirm this. Or tell me i'm dead wrong, that'd be cool too.

Should I skip the forums and file the bug?

Yes, I believe it is a bug and needs to be reported via bugzilla:
