The -fno-elide-constructors flag helps; it forces explicit copy constructor
calls, and that seems to get rid of most of the bogons -- but apparently
not all of them -- I'll look further, but I think sometimes the
initializer for a base class gets optimized in a way that results in a
false ###### flagging. Still, if you're having this trouble, start with
that flag.
