Unfortunately, what it tried to do was cast it to either byte or long

The following works for me (using LDC):
typedef int mint;
void foo (long i) {}
void main ()
{
mint a = 1;
foo (a);
}
However, this also works:
typedef int mint;
void foo (byte i) {}
void main ()
{
mint a = 1;
foo (a);
}
It's an implicit narrowing conversion -- that involves data loss. This
is a bug.
