That's because the constraint-expression of a requires clause is an unevaluated
operand (wg21.link/temp.pre#9.sentence-4).  (Though I think this example is
strictly speaking ill-formed no diagnostic required because the constraint can
never be satisfied (wg21.link/temp.res.general#6.2).)

The check in question is in finish_id_expression_1:

      /* Also disallow uses of function parameters outside the function
         body, except inside an unevaluated context (i.e. decltype).  */
      if (TREE_CODE (decl) == PARM_DECL
          && DECL_CONTEXT (decl) == NULL_TREE
          && !cp_unevaluated_operand)
        {
          *error_msg = G_("use of parameter outside function body");
          return error_mark_node;
        }

We should probably relax the above check to permit uses of function parameters
with empty types even outside of unevaluated contexts, since we don't really
care about the value of an empty type.
