Msg 1792, Level 16 on ALTER TABLE .. ALTER COLUMN

Hi,

The following code result in warnings with MS SQL 2008, and fails with MS SQL 2012 (Msg 1792, Level 16):

drop table test_error_1792
go

create table test_error_1792 (LongChar char(8000), vc varchar(100), id numeric(2,2))
go

ALTER TABLE test_error_1792 ALTER COLUMN id numeric(15,2)
go

Was there a change in behavior in 2012 regarding Row-Overflow Data Exceeding 8 KB?
Please advice,
