Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N3691.

  1. Edit [deque.capacity]/4 as indicated:

    void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);
    

    […]

    -4- Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this and CopyInsertable into *this.

  2. Edit [vector.capacity]/16+17 as indicated:

    void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);
    

    […]

    -16- Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this and CopyInsertable into *this.

    -17- Remarks: If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T there are no effects.

First, [deque.capacity]/4 and [vector.capacity]/16 say that resize(size_type sz, const T& c) "Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this and CopyInsertable into *this." The CopyInsertable requirement is correct (because sz might be size() + 2 or more), but the MoveInsertable requirement is redundant due to [container.requirements.general]/13: "T is CopyInsertable into X means that, in addition to T being MoveInsertable into X, the [...]". (LWG 2033's resolution said that this was "not redundant, because CopyInsertable is not necessarily a refinement of MoveInsertable" which was true at the time, but then LWG 2177's resolution made it a refinement.)

Second, [vector.capacity]/17 says "Remarks: If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T there are no effects." This is confusing because T is required to be CopyInsertable. (/14 says the same thing for resize(size_type sz), where it is correct because that overload requires only MoveInsertable and DefaultInsertable.)
