Proposed resolution (November, 2013):

Change 9.2.6 [dcl.constexpr] paragraph 8 as follows:

The constexpr specifier has no effect on the type of a constexpr function or a constexpr constructor. The class of which a constexpr function is a member shall be a literal type (6.9 [basic.types]). [Example:...

[Applied to WP at the February, 2014 meeting.]

The current wording of 9.2.6 [dcl.constexpr] paragraph 8 is:

The constexpr specifier has no effect on the type of a constexpr function or a constexpr constructor. The class of which a constexpr function is a member shall be a literal type (6.9 [basic.types]).

The previous version of this wording made clear that the restriction on the class type applied only to non-static member functions; consequently, the new formulation has inadvertently banned static constexpr member functions of non-literal classes.
