Confirmed. If you run GCC under GDB, you'll notice that the call 

  if (expr == error_mark_node || TREE_CODE (expr) == TREE_LIST)
    {
      if (complain & tf_error)
        qualified_name_lookup_error (scope,
                                     TREE_OPERAND (qualified_id, 1),
=>                                   expr, input_location);
      return error_mark_node;
    }


uses input_location. I think it should use an explicit location. The problem is
how to get the location of 'value' to this point. 

Up one-level input_location is "hacked" to be 

 loc = input_location;
  if (EXPR_HAS_LOCATION (t))
    input_location = EXPR_LOCATION (t);

but in this case t is just:

 <scope_ref 0x7ffff753e640 tree_0
    arg 0 <template_type_parm 0x7ffff75439d8 T type_0 type_6 VOID
        align 8 symtab 0 alias set -1 canonical type 0x7ffff75439d8
       index 0 level 1 orig_level 1
        chain <type_decl 0x7ffff753f958 T>>
    arg 1 <identifier_node 0x7ffff7552d10 value
        bindings <(nil)>
        local bindings <(nil)>>>

so it doesn't have a location, so it uses input_location.

The issue seems to be that input_location has somehow been smashed by something
else. For the testcase:

void assert(int, const char *);
template <typename T>
int
foo(int b)
{
  assert(T::value, "toto");
  return b;
}

int
main()
{
  foo<int>(12);
}


we get:

test.cc:6:26: error: ‘value’ is not a member of ‘int’
   assert(T::value, "toto");
                          ^
which is slightly better and the only difference seems to be the value of
input_location in the condition above.

This requires much more investigation.
