2077. Overload resolution and invalid rvalue-reference initialization

The resolution of issue 1604 broke the following example:

  struct A {};
  struct B { operator const A() const; };
  void f(A const&);
  void f(A&&);

  int main() {
    B a;
    f(a);
  }

Overload resolution selects the A&& overload, but then initialization fails. This seems like a major regression; we're now required to reject

   std::vector<A> va;
   B b;
   va.push_back(b);

Should we update 12.2.4.2.5 [over.ics.ref] to match the changes made to 9.4.4 [dcl.init.ref]?
