If the fix to the C frontend doesn't work out I'd indeed prefer your variant.
Nit:

+  outer_type = TREE_TYPE (expr);
+  inner_type = TREE_TYPE (TREE_OPERAND (expr, 0));
+
+  if (!inner_type || inner_type == error_mark_node)
+    return false;

unless we get to a case where inner_type == NULL I would not bother
checking that.

As said, that TREE_TYPE (error_mark_node) is not a type is IMHO bad
for error recovery.  Maybe we really need ERROR_TYPE here.
