Is there any progress on this issue?

@PfanP Will take a look at this asap. It's possible you could work around this error by explicitly bracketing the else, e.g rewriting the original example like:

contract Test {
    function test() external {
        int i = 0;
        if (false) {
        } else {
           i == 0 ? i = 0 : i--;
       }
    }
}

If that fails, as a last resort you should be able to use conventional if/else for the ternary conditional.

Fixed in v.0.8.6
