<pre>8.20 [expr.const] p2
"An expression e is a core constant expression unless the evaluation of e,
following the rules of the abstract machine (4.6), would evaluate one of the
following expressions:
...
* an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion (7.1) that is applied to a glvalue that refers
to a non-active member of a union or a subobject thereof;"
It's not undefined behavior, but it isn't allowed in a constant expression.
(the wording of the error message hints at this by saying "is not allowed in a
constant expression"</pre>
