Minimal test case producing the (un)desired behavior, and temporary files.

The following code:

T* x = new T({""});

Produces the following behavior:

I listed the affected version as 4.7.0 because when I went on IRC, I was
informed by a user there that 4.7.0 20110524 (experimental) [trunk revision
174141] is still affected.
