--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Reduced to remove the Boost dependency:

class base; // {};

class derived; // : public base {};

void func(base* p);

derived* get();

int main()
{
  func(get());
}

d.cc: In function 'int main()':
d.cc:11:13: error: cannot convert 'derived*' to 'base*' for argument '1' to
'void func(base*)'
   func(get());
             ^



For comparison, clang outputs:

d.cc:11:3: error: no matching function for call to 'func'
  func(get());
  ^~~~
d.cc:5:6: note: candidate function not viable: cannot convert argument of
incomplete type 'derived *' to 'base *'
void func(base* p);
     ^
1 error generated.
