The compiler behaves conforming: An elaborated type specifier is not allowed in
this context (see [expr.type.conv] p1 which says "A simple-type-specifier
(7.1.6.2) or typename-specifier (14.6) [..]", they are only allowed in
restricted context like a new expression for example. Note that similar
expressions apply more general type-specifiers like "unsigned int" which cannot
be used in such an expression. In other words: This does not look like a bug to
me. A reduced example would be the following snippet:

struct string { string(int); };

enum { string };

void h(struct string);

int main() {
  h(class string(42));
}

A simple workaround is to introduce a local typename-specifier:

typedef class string c_t;
h(c_t(42));
