There isn't really a subtlety; void* p = &p is well-defined, and the same is true for other cases where only the address, but not the (undefined) value of the initializer is used. I consider 'int i = i;' a botch that somehow evolved into a promise. I'm not going to re-open the war of 2002, but I was never happy with it.
