It is not the same issue as the protected keyword is not involved. (And Clang
and ICC should be fixed instead, see below).

The testcase is not valid, as a using declaration shall refer to a direct base
class, which is not the case in 'using ns::Base::i' (the namespace ns does not
seem to be relevant here). It is invalid for a second reason, 'using Base::i'
is declared (implicitly) in a private section, so inaccessible in
DerivedDerived.

Raising the priority would not make me fix this bug more quickly. This bug is
not a regression, and not a high priority in my opinion. Thought, it is in my
TODO list. I gave it a try two years ago, and it was not obvious to fix. Feel
free to take over if you have more free time than I have.
