Discussion:
When issue 1445(i) was resolved by adopting N3168, it exposed the need to modify both overloads of basic_istream::seekg (by inserting "the function clears eofbit," after "except that"), but the fix applied to the text apparently forgets the second overload at 31.7.5.4 [istream.unformatted] p43.
[2013-10-17: Daniel provides concrete wording]
It seems that the tiny sentence "SIMILARLY for 27.7.1.3/43 (seekg)." had been overlooked. I agree that the wording needs to be applied here as well.

MC: This was just missed when we added "the function first clears eofbit" to the other overload, Daniel agrees. Editing mistake.
Move to Ready, consensus.
Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to N3691.
Change 31.7.5.4 [istream.unformatted] p43 as indicated:
basic_istream<charT,traits>& seekg(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir dir);-43- Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.7.2.3, paragraph 1), except that the function first clears
eofbit, it does not count the number of characters extracted , and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls togcount(). […]
