Lint/RequireParentheses and Style/TernaryParentheses contradicting each other

[tjschuck]

Sample code:

self.foo = bar && baz ? 'qux' : 'quux'

Running Rubocop against that, you get:

example.rb:1:1: W: Lint/RequireParentheses: Use parentheses in the method call to avoid confusion about precedence.
self.foo = bar && baz ? 'qux' : 'quux'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

However, correcting it to:

self.foo = (bar && baz) ? 'qux' : 'quux'

Rubocop now reports:

example.rb:1:12: C: [Correctable] Style/TernaryParentheses: Omit parentheses for ternary conditions.
self.foo = (bar && baz) ? 'qux' : 'quux'
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Correcting back-and-forth just keeps you in this loop forever.

Interesting wildcard: the first offense happens when the sample code is self.foo =, but not when it's foo =, which makes me think the first offense is a bug.

Expected behavior

Based on the docs for Lint/RequireParentheses, it seems like it's only supposed to apply when predicate methods are used, which isn't happening in the sample code, so it probably shouldn't apply here.

Actual behavior
