Let me clarify terminology, please.

The patch tests _overloaded_ constructors.  The bug, however, is with
_cloned_ constructors.  Not the same thing at all.  Cloned constructors
are not user-visible objects; they only differ in that they use
different offsets into the object based on whether it is a baseclass or
the principal object.

The test should definitely pass as-written, in my opinion, possibly
with a few additional words added to the output but not with more menu
choices.  This is an implementation detail that we may want to show to
users but we should avoid requiring their knowledge of it at all
possible.
