Yes, that is the case.  But the issues are slightly different.  
A long time ago, the committee decided, after debate, that member names
hide enclosing template-parameters.  The fact that names from base
classes can  hide template-parameters too comes as a -logical-
consequence from that general rule and the principle that scopes nests.

To achieve what some think "obvious", one needs to introduce either
the notion of "parallel scopes" or inject an enclosing  scope into an
enclosed scope after the enclosing scope has been examined.  I don't
think they are "obvious" either.
