It *looks* like -Wimplicit-fallthrough in clang is only effective for
C++11:

http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/should-Wimplicit-fallthrough-require-C-11-td4028144.html

It mentions this commit:

http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?revision=167655&view=revision

And it seems it wasn't changed since than.
