Sorry, wrong example. Should have been
cout << strlen("");
or
cout << vector<int>().size();
which both give me warnings with /Wp64

IMO this falls directly in Dinkumware's lap. ALL of the code was written by them (well the headers). It's fairly clear that there should be no restrictions on outputting the return from .size()
And there isn't.
The compiler chooses one of the gazillion overloads of operator<< for a 32 bit value, and then informs us that it wouldn't be the proper one to use for a 64 bit value. Duh!
The feature is just broken. Why not use the proper 64 bit compiler for the 64 bit tests?
it also fails on streamsize ever since they allowed files > 4gb
