The operand of a postincrement and friends must be a modifiable lvalue. The
type check code for both C and C++ calls get_unwidened, which removes the cast
when it's a different size but leaves the cast when it's the same size. The
later call to lvalue_p (via lvalue_or_else) says the operand is not an lvalue
when there's still a cast, but doesn't complain when the cast has been removed.
