In my testccase T isn't trivially copyable because of its non-trivial
destructor, so only the constructor is relevant.

The fact G++ accepts it if the constructor is defaulted after its first
declaration is now PR 53903

N.B. it fails even if the default constructor isn't used:

  #include <atomic>

  struct T {
    T() noexcept(false) { }
  };

  std::atomic<T> a{ T{} };


This appears to be a defect in the standard rather than a libstdc++ bug.
