It handles them:

$ clang -O2 -S -o - -include stdint.h -xc++ - <<<'template  <typename T> void
f(T); void f() { auto tib = (void * __seg_fs*)(0); f(tib); }' | c++filt 
        .text
        .file   "-"
        .globl  f()                   # -- Begin function f()
        .p2align        4, 0x90
        .type   f(),@function
f():                                  # @f()
        .cfi_startproc
# %bb.0:
        xorl    %edi, %edi
        jmp     void f<void* AS257*>(void* AS257*)     # TAILCALL

The mangled symbol was _Z1fIPU5AS257PvEvT_. That "AS257" is encoded as U5AS257,
which is an extended qualifier.
