I didn't find any bug. The old approach used to implement static_assert in MWCW
has a limitation, which we hit in Spirit. It seems that it was there just as a
workaround. I can't speak for previous versions, but in 8.3 this is no longer
needed, and we can use the default implementation.

This test was failing with the old approach for MWCW, and is still failing with
the new one. It must be something else, but I didn't investigate it.
