If this bug is a dupe please close this as resolved/dupe.  I didn't check that
hard.

I think this is a bug because GCC attempts to resolve whether variables are
initialized or not and doesn't in this case.  It's misleading to the user to
suggest it can do something it clearly cannot [in this case].
