If it is suitable to modify the source code of the application, a workaround
is to let the constructor take a ref/ptr to va_list instead, and wrap a call to
it inside a variadic C-style function, or a variadic static member function,
that creates and returns the Exception object. An example at [1].
-----
The ICE isn't a problem here, since the string-index and first-to-check
attr-parameters of [2] should not consider any hidden func-parameters
except the 'this' pointer. The values 2 and 3 resp. are therefore the
correct arguments to pass to the attr-parameters for the given c++
code utilizing virtual inheritance.
What is missing from 12.3.0 (and also from the latest on the
releases/gcc-12 branch) is the adjustments, that the compiler must
internally make, to the arguments passed to the attr-parameters, when
virtual inheritance adds 1 or 2 additional hidden func-parameters to the
constructor.
The gcc-13 branch does contain those adjustments. See [3].

Fixed for GCC 13. I don't have plans to backport this.
