--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Yes, this is undefined behaviour.

It's equivalent to:

const int& f(const int& i) { return i; }
const int& i = f(5);
int j = i;  // undefined

Lifetime is only extended if the reference is bound directly to the temporary
object, not to another reference that happens to be bound to it inside some
function.

Consider the case where the body of A::operator+= is not visible to the
compiler. How is it supposed to know whether the returned value refers to *this
or not, and therefore how is it supposed to know whether to destroy the
temporary A(5) immediately or not?
