That isn't a specified error and this function should be legal.  For example, 
see the note in the definition of ExpectedArgumentCount in section 13.1 of the 
draft:

NOTE    The ExpectedArgumentCount of a FormalParameterList is the number of 
FormalParameters to the left of either the rest parameter or the first 
FormalParameter with an Initialiser. A FormalParameter without an initializer 
is allowed after the first parameter with an initializer but such parameters 
are considered to be optional with undefined as their default value.
