Actually, on closer inspection, I'm not so sure.  I made a simple change
to gcc which seems to allow these and since the error is so strange I'm
wondering if this is really allowd.  I also found some warnings in g++
which seem to indicated that labeled initializers are allowed.

I think I'll inquire of the gcc mailing list.
