OK. Does this solve your original problem? Since I'm not
confident we can fix the underlying problem, you'll probably
have to stick to this workaround.

Too bad :( Well, maybe you can start with your original
snippet and start deconstructing it til you get to
a simpler formulation we can present to type_traits
authors (I'm afraid I can't do it myself, I don't have
that compiler as I said before.) First thing I'd do,
try to eliminate the use of multi_index_container and
replace it with instantiations of the form
boost::is_function<const_mem_fun<...> >. Please come back
to me if you decide to do this.
