No, I just now invented that example.  It was based on experience I've
had in using macros like those in gnulib's intprops.h
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/lib/intprops.h>
though none of those macros actually have that particular code.

Yes, intprops.h already has written code that way (instead of using &&)
in order to avoid a somewhat-similar bug in the Sun C compiler.
There's a comment to that effect in intprops.h.

We can always disable -Wlogical-op when compiling
any code that has the problem.  It's not a big deal,
though it is an annoyance that will prevent people from benefiting
from -Wlogical-op.  I'm afraid I don't have any magic answers here.
