The test `foo` in `clang/test/CXX/temp/temp.decls/temp.fct/temp.func.order/p6.cpp` exercises this, but it doesn't involve any default arguments, so any effects are incidental / harmless.

I have actually just come up with a relevant test case that shows something interesting that I wasn't aware before, this could possibly be new info for the core issue.

https://godbolt.org/z/rnbzhnqG7

This shows a change of behavior introduced by P05522, only instead of introducing ambiguity, it causes different candidates to be picked. Also affects GCC.

Regarding the FIXME:

So the (Type | NonType | Template) template parameter declarations store the default argument for themselves. They have a `setDefaultArgument` method for setting that. While for template template parameter declarations the `setDefaultArgument` takes a `TemplateArgument`, and that means it can use any kind of TemplateArgument as a default argument, including packs.

The same is not true for (Type | NonType) template parameter declarations, their `setDefaultArgument` only takes a (Type / Expression), which means a pack can't be passed.

This is done presumably to save space in those declarations, while a Type and an Expression are a single pointer, a `TemplateArgument` is considerably larger, and you would need at least a pointer and an integer to represent a pack.

To 'fix' this FIXME, we would have to change that, and allow those declarations to be larger in at least some circumstances.
