The only thing I can think of is code like this:

struct
{
} a;

static void
fa (typeof (a)&)
{
}

struct
{
} b;

static void
fb (typeof (b)&)
{
}


void
f ()
{
  fa (a);
  fb (b);
}


It compiles with g++ 3.4.1. nm shows the following:

0000000c T f()
00000000 t fa(._0&)
00000006 t fb(._1&)
00000000 B a
00000001 B b

Which suggest that gcc assigns internal names even to anonymous
types. So I think it's true that any typeof-expression can be 
reduced to a type-name.
