C++ defines a notion of "class name for linkage purpose" -- that is a
notion used to define the One Definition Rule.
In general the TYPE_NAME of TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT is the class name for
linkage purpose.
The behaviour you reported on implements the rule 7.1.3/5:
If the typedef declaration defines an unnamed class (or enum), the
first typedef-name declared by the declaration
to be that class type (or enum type) is used to denote the class type
(or enum type) for linkage purposes only (3.5).
