I think you could rewrite your code to be clearer (see below) but
that's not really the problem we're having.  The problem is that
lambda support requires has_rebind, which instantiates the predicate
on its argument.  When the argument is a placeholder (arg<N>), it
doesn't have ::lhs_index or ::rhs_index members, and the predicate
instantiation is an error.

I'm looking at it to see if I can find a way to get has_rebind<T> to
work without instantiating T.

template <class T> struct lhs_index : T::lhs_index
{
   BOOST_MPL_AUX_LAMBDA_SUPPORT(1, lhs_index, (T));
};

template <class T> struct rhs_index : T::rhs_index
{
   BOOST_MPL_AUX_LAMBDA_SUPPORT(1, rhs_index, (T));
};

template < size_t LhsIndex, size_t RhsIndex, int Sign >
struct signature
{
    typedef mpl::size_t< LhsIndex > lhs_index;
    typedef mpl::size_t< RhsIndex > rhs_index;
    typedef mpl::int_< Sign > type;
};

template < class Signature, class LhsIndex, class RhsIndex >
struct predicate
    : mpl::and_<
          mpl::equal_to<lhs_index<Signature>, LhsIndex>
        , mpl::equal_to<rhs_index<Signature>, RhsIndex>
      >
{
    BOOST_MPL_AUX_LAMBDA_SUPPORT( 3, predicate, (Signature, LhsIndex,RhsIndex) )
};

// Test code:

typedef mpl::vector< signature< 1, 1, 1 >,
                                signature< 4, 4, 0 >,
                                signature< 5, 5, 0 >,
                                signature< 4, 5, 1 > > signatures;

typedef mpl::find_if< signatures, predicate< mpl::_1, mpl::size_t< 4 >,
mpl::size_t< 5 > > >::type iter_0;
