I assume you mean the measure_test.  Try the following simple patch:

    assert (f1.value () == 1);
    f1 = 3;
!   assert (f1.value () == 3);

    feet f2 (2);
    length_quantity q2 (f2);
    q2 = f1;
    feet f3 (q2);
!   assert (f3.value () == 3);
    f2 = q2;
!   assert (f2.value () == 3);

    // mixed units
