--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
You're wrong, the variable's name is in scope following it's declarator, so
it's syntactically valid and should be accepted by a conforming compiler.  It
is a bug that there's no warning but that's already recorded elsewhere in
Bugzilla.

For a valid program that refers to a variable during its initialization
consider:

struct A {
  static int f() { return 0; }
  A(int) { }
};

int main() {
  A a(a.f());
}
