Note that "a template for which no valid instantiation is possible" is actually ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

That said, it's not clear to me what part of "you can write uninstantiable templates" is surprising, so I'm probably not understanding correctly. Maybe you could find the C++ code you're talking about? I would be interested.
