Johannes Schaub again kindly points us out to 13.3.3.2/3 last bullet:

— List-initialization sequence L1 is a better conversion sequence than 
list-initialization sequence L2 if L1 converts to std::initializer_list<X> 
for some X and L2 does not.

which means that g++ and clang are right and VC++ is wrong in this specific 
case.
