This is a known bug in the Itanium C++ ABI.  ARM noticed this; there variant of
the C++ ABI has the additional is_reference parameter precisely to correctly
handle this case.

I looked at this in some detail at one point and concluded that the only ways
we could fix it would require a binary-compatibility break with previous
releases.  Perhaps the next major libstdc++ upgrade would be a good opportunity
for that.
