Proposed resolution (August, 2011):

Change 7.6.2.6 [expr.alignof] paragraph 1 as follows:

An alignof expression yields the alignment requirement of its operand type. The operand shall be a type-id representing a complete object type or an array thereof or a reference to a complete object type one of those types.

According to 7.6.2.6 [expr.alignof] paragraph 1,

An alignof expression yields the alignment requirement of its operand type. The operand shall be a type-id representing a complete object type or an array thereof or a reference to a complete object type.

This (presumably unintentionally) excludes a reference to an array with an unknown bound but a complete element type; the bound is not needed to determine the alignment of the array.
