Err right that doesn't make sense, let's use floats instead. I see:
$ cat hello.c
#include <complex.h>
void other(float real, float imag);
void func (complex float n)
{
other(creal(n), cimag(n));
}
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc hello.c -g3 -O0 -c
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump -d hello.o
hello.o: file format pe-x86-64
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000000000 <func>:

1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
4: 48 83 ec 20 sub $0x20,%rsp
8: 48 89 4d 10 mov %rcx,0x10(%rbp)

26: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 2b <func+0x2b>
2b: 90 nop
2c: 48 83 c4 20 add $0x20,%rsp
30: 5d pop %rbp
31: c3 retq
Doesn't this suggest that the parameter gets passed through rcx? I'm not saying you
are wrong, I'm just trying to understand how things work :).
