I have minimized the testcase maybe more than appropriate, it was in fact:
class D { public: int a; } d;
class C { public: D &f() { return d; } } c;
int main() { return c.f.a; }
g++ (GCC) 5.0.0 20150224 (experimental)

10.C: In function ‘int main()’:
10.C:3:21: error: ‘c.C::f’ does not have class type
int main() { return c.f.a; }

10.C:3:23: error: reference to non-static member function must be called; did
you mean to call it with no arguments?

Yes, that would be very useful.
