Huh? We get into add_flexible_array_elts_to_size just fine. Using your
testcase above:
Breakpoint 3, add_flexible_array_elts_to_size (decl=0x7ffff7ff6ab0,
init=0x7fffe9f3edc8) at /home/gcc/GIT-3/gcc/gcc/c/c-decl.c:4617
4617 if (vec_safe_is_empty (CONSTRUCTOR_ELTS (init)))

So I'm a bit confused. It seems to go through
add_flexible_array_elts_to_size in my limited testing.
Given how closely complete_flexible_array_elts is to
add_flexible_array_elts_to_size I can't help but continue to wonder if
we're really papering over a problem in add_flexible_array_elts_to_size.
But it may also be the case that the recursive needs to handle the
CONSTRUCTORS embedded within other CONSTRUCTORS mean we want two routines.
Basically I want to see a rationale why we want/need two routines here.

Looks wrong to me as well. But I don't think that's the core issue
here. Let's tackle that separately.

Jason's the expert here. I'll defer to his expertise. It just seemed
a bit odd to me that we have a routine to "complete" an array that does
any special C++ handling (cp_complete_array_type) and we're not using it.
