Proposed resolution (February, 2012):

Change 12.2.4.3 [over.ics.rank] bullet 4.3 as follows:

  • If class B is derived directly or indirectly from class A and class C is derived directly or indirectly from B,

    • conversion of C* to B* is better...

    • binding of an expression of type C to a reference of to type B& is better than binding an expression of type C to a reference of to type A&,

    • ...

    • binding of an expression of type B to a reference of to type A& is better than binding an expression of type C to a reference of to type A&,

    • ...

In bullet 3 of paragraph 4 of 12.2.4.3 [over.ics.rank] are two sub-bullets dealing with overload tiebreakers:

  • binding of an expression of type C to a reference of type B& is better than binding an expression of type C to a reference of type A&,

  • ...

  • binding of an expression of type B to a reference of type A& is better than binding an expression of type C to a reference of type A&,

Presumably both of these tiebreakers should apply to rvalue references as well as lvalue references.
