I may have given a mistaken impression; there's been no feedback
yet on whether or not this will get fixed in 4.1.x or 4.2.x.  The
fact that it is fixed in 4.3.0, and given the way the GCC folks 
work, leads me to believe it is more likely to be fixed in the 
earlier releases than not.  Until there's a response, though, your
guess is as good as mine.
