VerifyError appears with boolean method and long or larger primitive type in conditional operand of ternary statement

 
// generates error
class Foo {
    long id // or float or double
    
    boolean bar() {
        return (id ? true : false)
    }
}
Foo foo = new Foo()

 
// no VerifyError
class Foo {
    long id
    
    boolean bar() {
        return (long)id ? true : false
    }
}

// no VerifyError
class Foo {
    int id // or boolean or char or Long, etc.
    
    boolean bar() {
        return id ? true : false
    }
}
