Yes.  Only base subobjects of the same type are required to have different
addresses.

I don't know.  IBM's may.  They have a patent on having a vbase with no data
members share space with a derived class, which would not cover this
optimization; but it's in the same area, so they may have thought of it.

I hate software patents.
