Comment:

 The problem is the error reporting.  The array conversion function has
 many paths to success.  Thus, the first error (trying to convert
 0xFFFFFEB3 to an int32) is masked and the error obtained when trying to
 convert the entire sequence at once is shown.

 A better error path in this case is needed, but it is a bit tricky to get
 right.
