This is not properly documented, then. The manual says:
'mpz_add_ui', 'mpz_sub_ui', 'mpf_add_ui' and 'mpf_sub_ui' benefit
from an in-place operation like 'mpz_add_ui(x,x,y)', since usually
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
only one or two limbs of 'x' will need to be changed. The same
applies to the full precision 'mpz_add' etc if 'y' is small. If
'y' is big then cache locality may be helped, but that's all.
Since this should be an in-place operation (as there is no carry),
an overflow is unexpected here.
