This is probably a bug (in the compiler or in type_traits); when 
is_pointer<F> reports true, remove_pointer<F> should work... I don't see 
this case covered by the type traits tests, but they aren't very readable, 
so I might've missed it. In any event, it won't hurt if you send a small 
test case to John Maddock.
