Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4810.

Modify [bitset.operators] as indicated:
```
template<class charT, class traits, size_t N>
  basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    operator>>(basic_istream<charT, traits>& is, bitset<N>& x);
```
[…]
-6- If N > 0 and no characters are stored in str, calls is.setstate(ios_base::failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).

From a StackOverflow question:

[bitset.operators]/5.1 says that extracting a bitset<0> stops after reading 0 characters. /6 then says that, since no characters were stored, failbit is set.

[2019-06-09; Priority to 0 and Status to Tentatively Ready after five positive votes on the reflector.]
