That's not how sign-propagation works.

The 'int' version of the given byte-value is:
 11111111_11111111_11111111_11001001 
so, masking will safely bring back the original
byte value.

The problem with propagation is mostly a cosmetic 
one, namely that you casually need some extra casts:

byte a = 1, b = 2, c; c = (byte)(a + b);
