The only thing I find in ChangeLog.2 relating to this is,
Tue Aug 27 13:12:21 1996 Jason Merrill <jason@yorick.cygnus.com>
* call.c (add_builtin_candidate): Use TYPE_PTROB_P instead of
ptr_complete_ob.

conversion for the builtin is worse than the worst conversion for the
function, take the function.
I can't tie this up to a test case.
