SystemExitException.GetExitCode calls TypeCache.Int32.IsInstanceOfType
with the argument to the exit function, and this function returns
false when the type of the argument is System.Boolean.

In other words, this discrepancy happens because
TypeCache.Int32.IsInstanceOfType(false) == false
TypeCache.Int32.IsInstanceOfType(4) == true

Interestingly, a user-defined type that derives from "int" produces
the correct response.
