-Wvarargs does not warn for member functions

Hi,
    It appears to me that, g++ does not warn for -Wvarargs for member functions.

For the following test-case:
#include <cstdarg>

struct f
{
  void foo(int x, int y, ...)
  {
    va_list ap;
    va_start (ap, x);
  }
};

I compiled it with g++ -Wvarargs, and it only printed the warning:
wa.cpp:4:6: warning: unused parameter ‘y’ [-Wunused-parameter]
 void foo(int x, int y, ...)

Test-case for non-member function:
#include <cstdarg>

void foo(int x, int y, ...)
{
  va_list ap;
  va_start (ap, x);
}

Compiling with g++ -Wvarargs additionally prints:
foo.cpp: In function ‘void foo(int, int, ...)’:
foo.cpp:6:19: warning: second parameter of ‘va_start’ not last
named argument [-Wvarargs]
   va_start (ap, x);

g++ -v:
