This isn’t the case. It’s allowed because the question-mark syntax means two different things in value- and reference-type contexts. The signatures really look like this:

    public static IEnumerable<TR> SelectNotNull<T, TR>(
      this IEnumerable<T> source,
      Func<T, TR> fn)
      where TR : class // …and the nullability of TR is tracked by the compiler

    public static IEnumerable<TR> SelectNotNull<T, TR>(
      this IEnumerable<T> source,
      Func<T, Nullable<TR>> fn)
      where TR : struct

This is an allowable overload.
