A clang developer has recently pointed me to an interesting clause in the
standard ([temp.inst] p6):

"If the overload resolution process can determine the correct function to
 
call without instantiating a class template definition, it is 
unspecified 
whether that instantiation actually takes place."

Perhaps this is coming into play here (and thus all of the above
behaviour is standard-conforming)?
