The fix could be just to issue a warning of non-compliance to C++ standards.

Except that can break compiling projects as well due to /WX (treating warnings as errors).
Those projects want to be warned of non-compliant code and they have chosen to have their build break on questionable constructs. I think that this is a weak argument for not issuing a warning.

Having said that the issue looks fairly non-urgent and inclusion in a later release would be perfectly reasonable.
