The problem is that your are using fd instead of ic. fd's #\/ only works
with arithmetic constraints (see the documentation), whereas ic's 'or'
works with reified constraints:

    :-lib(ic).
    :-lib(propia).

    con1(1,1,0).
    con1(1,2,0).
    con1(1,3,0).

    cons(X,Y,B) :-
        con1(X,Y,B) infers most.

    execute(X) :-
        X#::[1,2,3],    cons(1,X)    or     X#=1.


?- execute(X).
X = 1
Yes (0.00s cpu)
