Create the classes:

package p2;
public class C {
  public int f=10;
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
  public long test(){
    return this.f;
  }
}

package p1;
import p2.*;
public class A extends C {
  protected int f=11;
}

apply the push down field refactoring to f 

package p2;
public class C {
  public int f=10;
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
  public long test(){
    return this.f;
  }
}

package p1;
import p2.*;
public class A extends C {
}

The transformation changes behavior. After the transformation the test method returns 10 instead of 11
