I think Johannes is right, the virtual base is default-initialized without
needing to look up its name in the scope of D, and the implicitly-defined
default constructor is public so accessible.

Curious that G++, Comeau and Clang all accept the example in CWG issue 7,
despite the rationale (and Mike) indicating it's intended that a virtual
private base can't be derived from.
