--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-20 10:26:56 UTC ---
The summary isn't very relevant, the problem has nothing to do with
constructors, it's just that g++ doesn't check before instantiation whether no
valid specialization can be formed for a template.

14.6 [temp.res] p7:
If no valid specialization can be generated for a template definition, and that
template is not instantiated, the template definition is ill-formed, no
diagnostic required. ... [ Note: If a template is instantiated, errors will be
diagnosed according to the other rules in this Standard. Exactly when these
errors are diagnosed is a quality of implementation issue. —end note ]
