--- Comment #1 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305 at gmail.com> ---
Issuing an error is the correct behavior. As you can see in the grammar [1], 
*(x)++ is parsed the following way: *UnaryExpression. If a parenthesis is
encountered, then the parser expects a type :
(type).identifier/templateInstance.
Since none of the above is actually encountered, the parser presumes you tried
to do a C style cast. Note that dropping the useless parens or doing *((x))++
works since the parser then knows that the outermost () hold a primary
expression.

The behavior is according to the spec, so I will close this as invalid.
