Proposed resolution (January, 2017):

Change 6.8.5 [basic.type.qualifier] paragraph 2 as follows:

A compound type (6.8.4 [basic.compound]) is not cv-qualified by the cv-qualifiers (if any) of the types from which it is compounded. Any cv-qualifiers applied to an array type affect the array element type, not the array type (9.3.4.5 [dcl.array]).
