I didn't realise that A(A&) was a better match. I was thinking of C++ code
where you might write:

  template <typename T>
  A(const T& t);

  A(const A& rhs);

in which case A(const A&) would be chosen. I didn't realise that the rvalue
reference puts a spanner in the works. I was reading the part about a template
function and a non-template function being candidates, and if the non-template
function is no worse than the template function then it is chosen. But I didn't
realise that in this case the non-template one is actually worse.

I suppose that the bug can probably be marked as invalid then.
