This really invalid, as T::C instances an object, then you reference X from it?

Assuming Andrew's comment is a question: Of course this is illegal.
T::C is not an object, it is a type. You can't access members of types

Just for the record: If you insist on using an object, you have to write:
return typename T::C().X;

Fixed on mainline by Nathan's patch for PR 11922.

We now issue the error message

PR6190A.cc: In function `int foo() [with T = B]':
PR6190A.cc:4:   instantiated from here
PR6190A.cc:3: error: `T::C' names a type, but a non-type is expected
