Seems like an annoying compiler bug, not present in 7.1. It's harmless, the 
compiler just doesn't match the partial specialization whose purpose is to 
prevent the warning. I'll try to find a workaround, but it might be 
difficult; compilers seem to have a lot of trouble with deconstructing 
pointers to member functions (and then putting them back again.)

Thank you for the report. Pity that nobody caught that earlier.
