The new (corrected) behavior is in 10.0, there is nothing to fix here. Arguably there could be a release note.

Slightly edited and expanded test case:
bool foo(void * const * const * &&) { return false; } // new choice
bool foo(void * * const * const &) { return true; } // old choice
bool bar() {
return foo(reinterpret_cast<void***>(2));
}
I'm not entirely sure how we were coming up with the old answer, but the new answer is correct: binding an rvalue reference to an rvalue is preferred over binding an lvalue reference.
// A couple of additional cases:
void*** p;
void*** q() { return p; }
bool func1() { return foo(p); } // old and new both call '&' overload
bool func2() { return foo(q()); } // old calls '&', new calls '&&'
Here, q() is an rvalue, so we prefer binding an rvalue reference. p is an lvalue, so that rule doesn't apply and we prefer binding the lvalue reference because it binds to a less-qualified type.
I believe the new Clang behavior is following the rules described in C++ [over.ics.rank] paragraph 3.
So it looks like it matters whether the argument is an expression?
