Discussion:
I think Footnote 297 is confused. The paragraph it applies to seemsquite clear in that widen() is only called if the object is not a charstream (i.e., not basic_ostream<char>), so it's irrelevant what thevalue of widen(c) is otherwise.
Proposed resolution:
I propose to strike the Footnote.
