See 25.1 [algorithms.general] p12.

No, i < n so (first+n) is not needed and only n-1 applications of ++first are
required. It is unspecified whether the algorithm increments the iterator again
after the last write, but at least two implementations do not perform that
final increment.
So I'm closing this as not a bug. If
http://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/lwg-active.html#2242 becomes a defect and
changes something we will make whatever change is needed, but I don't think we
have a bug now in libstdc++.
