Comment (by apolukhin):

 lexical_cast library works just like std::stringstream. Lexical conversion
 to char, signed char and unsigned char is simply reading a byte from
 source but since the source has more than one byte, the exception is
 thrown.

 Such situations are described in FAQ, but not very obvious. I'll update
 the FAQ.
