It doesn't sound like brain damage, but rather a brand new (well, 12 years old now, but by C standards, brand new) feature in C that has not been ported to C++ yet. C++ adds all sorts of additional complex interactions to such a feature that would have to be properly specified...and nobody's done that yet. You could probably get a proposal accepted for C++20 (or whatever) though...
The restrictions on the GCC extension seem like someone just didn't really finish implementing it yet. I'd bet you would be welcome to do so.
