Eric Lippert posted an explanation of this on Stack Overflow:

Specifically, the subtle difference is that a method group is considered to be convertible to a delegate type solely on the basis of whether the arguments match, not also on the basis of whether the return type matches.
...
The upshot of it here is that your method group is convertible to all the different delegate types that are the second arguments of every version of Sum that takes a delegate. Since no best conversion can be found, the overload resolution on method group Sum is ambiguous.

He also has a blog post[^] talking about this in C# 3.

.NET 4.0 is a lot better at overload resolution for method groups, but this is one case where it still doesn't work.
