c++ - warning 11 is missing or depends on unrelated error

A sum(A j, A k) {return A(j.a+k.a);}

main()
{
    j= 1;            // error: undefined identifier (any error will do)
    f( A(1) );     // should get warning 11 but don't
    f( sum(A(2),A(3)) );  // should get warning 11 but don't unless
prior error
}

The last two lines in main() both deserve warning 11 "non-const
reference initialized to temporary". When I compile the program only the
last line gets the warning. If I fix the error on the first line of main
then neither line gets a warning. This is with version 8.32.17n of the
compiler and all compiler flags defaulted.
