Because, to quote the comment in configure.ac:

	# The Qt headers generate a ton of shortening errors on 64-bit systems
	# so only enable this for C for now.

I.e., it's not that g++ or clang++ don't support the option, it's that the bulk of our C++ code uses a framework that doesn't cast away those warnings (or fix them).
