This is not a defect.

The GCC manual says that the syntax of "typeof" is like "sizeof".  That means
that there are two operand forms, either "( type-id )" or "unary-expression".

In this case, 

  g(__typeof__(&foo)(foo));

the operand is not the "( type-id )" case, so it must be the "unary-expression"
case.  A "postfix-expression" is a kind of "unary-expression", which means that
the "(foo)" is treated as an argument to "(&foo)".  An analogous example with
"sizeof" is:

  int *p;
  sizeof(p)[p]

which will yield an error message, while:

  (sizeof(p))[p]

will work.
