It wouldn't surprise me if g++ (or any other compiler) had some
bugs in this. It's far from trivial. But for the moment,
nothing you've show seems particularly surprising to me. (In
fact, I'm sure that there is one bug in g++. Most of what is
involved here is implementation defined, and the standard says
that a conforming implementation must document its choices. I
haven't found any such documentation for g++.)
