A quote from the first bulleted line of the help for Compile[]
"Nested lists given as input to a compiled function must be full
arrays of numbers. "
So I suspect that this is the case.
In addition I tried your code and got the following warning message 
(at run time)

CompiledFunction::cfsa:"Argument \!\({True, True, False}\) at position 1 \
should be a \!\(\"True or False\"\)
So the compiled version expect a scalar.

Moreover, inserting a non scalar of 1's and 0's that will stand for
True and False respectively, and then in the compiled code trying to
convert it back into True and False will not work either.

sorry that I couldn't help more
