Function template parameter pack not at the end of the parameter list

The following code compiles and runs ok.

void foo() {

}

template <typename T, typename... Args>
void foo(T x, Args... args) {
  cout << x << endl;
  foo(args...);
}

// inside main()
foo(1,1,1);

This other code does not compile:

void foo() {

}

template <typename... Args, typename T>
void foo(Args... args, T x) {
  foo(args...);
  cout << x << endl;
}

// inside main()
foo(1,1,1);

The compiler says that there is no matching function for call to foo(1,1,1) and says that foo(Args... args, T x) is a candidate, but template argument deduction/substitution failed, because candidate expects 1 argument, but 3 were provided.

Is there any ambiguity with this situation that no compiler can handle? This compile error just seems illogical to me. Maybe this is not in accordance, on purpose, with the C++ standard?
