The related part of the standard is 15.1(paragraph 3) for 3.4 throwing an exception problem and 
15.4 (paragraph 1) for the exception specifications problem:
... shall not denote a pointer or reference to an incomplete type, other than void*,...

This is a dup of bug 2384, from that bug:
 Not according to 9.2, p2:
 
 "A class is considered a completely-defined object type (basic.types) (or
 complete type) at the closing } of the class-specifier. Within the class
 member-specification, the class is regarded as complete within function bodies,
 default arguments and constructor ctor-initializers (including such things in
 nested classes). Otherwise it is regarded as incomplete within its own class
 member-specification."

The 3.4 problem is the only regression here, I will filed a new PR for this one: bug 12879.
