Is there ANY chance we can fix the bitwise operator precedence rules?

Ooh. I like that. I don't know how well that would work with the grammar, 
but it's fairly aesthetically pleasing and definitely more maintainable than 
having to indicate where you're going to - not to mention it makes it 
distinct from situations where you really want to go to a case other than 
the next one (which would be yet another source of bugs and confusion if you 
had to use "goto case XXX" when falling through).

I definitely would be open to "continue switch." It makes sense and should 
solve the issue fairly well. The only potential issues that I see are how 
well it would fit into the grammar and convincing Walter.
