WHOA BUDDY!
Anyway, if you look into this, it is because my STL implementation has changed to the new definition for map::erase which takes a const_iterator. As you can see, trying to erase with an iterator creates an ambiguous call between the const_iterator and key_type.
I came up with two solutions: One was to explicitly cast to a const_iterator and the other was to mark stored_group::stored_group<T>(const T&) as explicit. Both work perfectly fine for me, but I like the explicit constructor solution better. I attached that change as a patch...feel free to use it if it doesn't break anything (which it probably does).
