--- Comment #1 from Richard Smith <richard-gccbugzilla at metafoo dot co.uk> ---
Reduced to:

template<typename T> struct S { typename T::error type; };
struct X {};
void f(S<int> *);
void f(...);
void g() { f((X*)0); }

It looks like, when considering a conversion from A* to B*, where A is a class
type, gcc attempts to complete B. There seems to be no obvious justification
for this (it doesn't help in determining whether B is a base class of A, which
seems like the most likely explanation for this behavior).
