If you choose to submit a gcc bugzilla report, you could include them in your list of people to be notified. Microsoft doesn't necessarily follow anyone's lead on such issues, but compatibility between Intel and Microsoft compilers is a likely goal. It sometimes requires experimentation among equivalent choices to find one which works on gcc, icc, and MSVC. As there is no fixed standard, you can't expect all possible choices which are equivalent on one compiler to work on all the others.
