That sounds plausible. The relevant code is
gcc/cp/cvt.cc
@@ -1647,11 +1647,6 @@ convert_to_void (tree expr, impl_conv_void implicit,
tsubst_flags_t complain)
enum tree_code code = TREE_CODE (e);
enum tree_code_class tclass = TREE_CODE_CLASS (code);

which doesn't consider boolean operations (TRUTH_NOT_EXPR / TRUTH_AND_EXPR /
TRUTH_OR_EXPR) because their class is tcc_expression. This is probably just an
oversight (even the C front end warns for !f()).
