It happens to work in some sense for non-trivial C++ class types (when they're passed indirectly, as under the Itanium ABI) because the temporary outlives the call; on the other hand, the call is allowed to mutate its argument, and it's not clear that it's okay to have those mutations be reflected in code that's using the result of the assignment. Similarly, managed types (like non-trivial C structs, or ARC pointers) might be consumed by the call; if we're going to pass them, perhaps we need to copy the value before doing so.

I made changes so that OVEs used as the result expression are not marked as unique. I wasn't sure whether treating such OVEs as unique would actually cause problems, but it's probably better to be on the safe side.
