This is the continuation of #17988
That "unexpected behavior" was fixed in dotnet/roslyn#47712. As far as I understand from my tests, that compiler change also has an effect for the C# 8.0 code (at least, the code in #17988 (comment) doesn't throw anymore for C# 8.0). So, the current note text is not correct anymore.
This PR suggests the most radical fix that is according to the latest compiler. There are some alternatives, though, if we want to keep documenting previous compiler versions.
From the referenced PR, I assume that that compiler change has been shipped with the compiler in Visual Studio 16.8. That means that alternative wording of the note would be:
I don't like it, as Visual Studio is not the only available editor. Another option is to mention .NET Core SDK version.
