--- Comment #17 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
FWIW for the original testcase G++ now says:

a.cc:9:8: error: ‘class A A::A’ is inaccessible within this context
  int c(A *a) { return 7; }
        ^
a.cc:1:9: note: declared here
 class A {
         ^

Which is ... different, I'll say that for it.

I'm not sure if "A::A" is meant to refer to the injected-class-name, but if it
is then it's not terribly clear unless you already know what that means and why
it happens.
