The implementations of String.indexOf operations cast the target char to a byte if Latin-1 encoded Strings are involved. The value might be cast to type byte by the caller or in the implementation itself, depending on the JDK version.
Value Propagation has to ensure that it uses signed byte comparisons if it transforms an indexOf involving a known String to replicate the run-time behaviour that otherwise would have resulted, regardless of JDK version.
