[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (February, 2014):
Change 7.6.2.2 [expr.unary.op] paragraph 3 as follows:
The result of the unary & operator is a pointer to its operand. The operand shall be an lvalue or a qualified-id. If the operand is a qualified-id naming a non-static or variant member m of some class C with type T, the result has type “pointer to member of class C of type T” and is a prvalue designating C::m. Otherwise...
According to 7.6.2.2 [expr.unary.op] paragraph 3,
The result of the unary & operator is a pointer to its operand. The operand shall be an lvalue or a qualified-id. If the operand is a qualified-id naming a non-static member m of some class C with type T, the result has type “pointer to member of class C of type T” and is a prvalue designating C::m.
It is not clear whether this wording applies to variant members of C (i.e., members of nested anonymous unions) or only to its non-variant members. For example, given
  struct A { union { int n; }; };
  auto x = &A::n;
should the type of x be int A::* or int A::anon::*? Current implementations choose the former.
