Rationale (November, 2016):
The specification is as intended.

Suggested resolution:
Change in 7.6.1.10 [expr.reinterpret.cast] paragraph 2 as follows:
... An expression ofintegralarithmetic, enumeration, pointer, or pointer-to-member type can be explicitly converted to its own type; such a cast yields the value of its operand.

Consider this inconsistency:
void func(long l, float f) {
(void)reinterpret_cast<long *>(&l); // ok
(void)reinterpret_cast<long>(l); // ok
(void)reinterpret_cast<float *>(&f); // ok
(void)reinterpret_cast<float>(f); // ill-formed
}
