--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I agree this looks like a bug. Reduced:

struct A {};
typedef int A::*PointerToMember;

int main() {
  try {
    throw nullptr;
  } catch (PointerToMember) { // This *should* catch throw nullptr...
  }

  try {
    throw nullptr;
  } catch(void *) { // This *should* catch throw nullptr...
  }
}
