State-Changed-Why:
    This is not a bug. Your testcase boils down to
    ---------------------------
    struct A {
        int   b[2];
    };
    
    int (A::*v) = &A::b[0];    // is this valid? If not, why not?
    -------------------------------
    The point is that A::b is not a member variable of type
    "int (B::*)", and one of its elements is not a member
    variable, but -- an element of a member variable. This is
    not supposed to work.
