Yes, and I raised one:  
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#371

At this point I no longer believe some of what I wrote there.  In the 
issues list you'll see that I thought the standards committee couldn't 
remove this freedom because it was essential to allow dynamic 
libraries.  I now believe that we could just remove this freedom and 
explicitly say what happens in the dynamic-library case.  This is now 
my preferred solution.
