Yes, it looks great. Thanks for the excellent test cases.

The rule was present (although worded differently), in paragraph 9:
"If no initializer is specified for an object, and the object is of
(possibly cv-qualified) non-POD class type (or array thereof), the
object shall be default-initialized; if the object is of
const-qualified type, the underlying class type shall have a
user-declared default constructor."

Looking through the uses, there seem to be roughly four different
things going on:

1) Checks for a trivial default constructor. These are unaffected by
your change because a templated default constructor can never be
trivial.
2) Checks for a default constructor for diagnostic purposes. I think
they'd be surprised if we called a constructor template a default
constructor, especially if it's being passed arguments (the same is
true in the default argument case, though).
3) Checks for a default constructor for type traits and the like.
These aren't really all that meaningful, but we probably shouldn't
change their outcomes (we're emlating GCC behavior).
4) A very small number of language semantic checks; the ones whose
outcomes change seem to mostly be wrong (they want to find the
constructor that overload resolution would actually select for a
0-argument call).

The easiest way to test this would probably be to static_assert that a
class with a constructor template returns false for __is_trivial:

struct X { template<typename ...T> X(T...); };
static_assert(!__is_trivial(X), "");
