The spec implies it should be on the stack:

"If a NewExpression is used as an initializer for a function local 
variable with scope storage class, and the ArgumentList to new is empty, 
then the instance is allocated on the stack rather than the heap or 
using the class specific allocator."

Even if it isn't actually on the stack, it behaves exactly as though it 
were.
