The idea was to allow blocks as function parameters because they are statically known at each function call. This can be resolved later at IR level instead of frontend. I am also not sure there can be other corner cases where it wouldn't work in Clang since we can't leverage analysis passes here. I feel this might be a risky thing to do in Clang. Currently it doesn't work for the examples provided and therefore breaking the compliance with the spec.
