It's the case for all objects with a non-trivial constructor, not only
std::string.

Constructors might have side-effects, so you might not need to "use" the
variable, all you want is to construct it.

e.g. you don't want an unused variable warning for 'l' here:

  void f(std::mutex& m, int& i) {
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> l(m);
    i = 1;
  }

I think this behaviour is intentional and correct.
