g++ and 'public virtual'

# > g++ -v

# > cat oops.cc

class foo {
protected:
  void __duplicate ();
 
};
 
class bar : public virtual foo  {
protected:
    void __duplicate() {
       foo::__duplicate ();
    }
};
 
class oops : public virtual bar {
protected:
    void __duplicate() {
       foo::__duplicate ();
    }
};

Can this be fixed before first release?
