Point::Point(Point&) is not a copy constructor (or, rather, it is a
restricted copy constructor); it only accepts arguments that are
actual, changeable Point objects.

Then you should send a bug report to Microsoft.  If the compiler
accepts an attempt to bind a non-const reference to a temporary,
this is a serious error in the compiler.
