Call to constructor not recognized as lvalue in function call

The following fails to compile with g++ (2.96, 3.0.4 , 3.1)
class T{}
{
public:
T(){}
~T(){}
};
void fxn(T&);
void x()
{
fxn(T()); // error : cannot convert T() to T&
}
However, in another context, T() is recognized as an lvalue.
void y()
{
T aT;
T() = aT;
}
Since this code all compiles with Solaris (Forte), Intel and Microsoft C++
compilers, I'm assume that it's legal C++.
