Since I missed the reply-all button just now, I resend this email.

Reading on N2716 one of the footnote stated:
"Note that aggregate type does not include union type because an object
with union type can only contain one member at a time"

And below at 6.7.9.21 only aggregate was mentioned but not union, which
matched what I observed with an `cc -ftrivial-auto-var-init=3Dpattern`
invocation.
