I think I have seen similar bugs in the pretty-printer with typedefs.

BTW, Clang gets it perfect:

pr56980.c:6:8: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'struct B *' to
parameter of type 'B *' (aka 'struct A *') [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  foo ((struct B *) x);
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pr56980.c:2:14: note: passing argument to parameter here
void foo (B *);
             ^
pr56980.c:11:7: warning: incompatible pointer types initializing 'B *' (aka
'struct A *') with an expression of type 'struct B *'
[-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  B * y = (struct B *) x;
      ^   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
