Pushing down a field may cause compilation error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create classes:

package p1;
public class A {
  protected int f = 11;
}

package p0;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A{
  protected int f = 10;
}

package p0;
public class C extends B {
  public long m() {
    return new B().f;
  }
}

2. Apply the push down field refactoring (push down the field f from B to C)

package p1;
public class A {
  protected int f = 11;
}

package p0;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A{
}

package p0;
public class C extends B {
  protected int f = 10;
  public long m() {
    return new B().f;
  }
}

3. After the refactoring, resulting program does not compile.
