As said in the Trac ticket, this is a compiler bug

I do not know if this is best fix but it solved our problem and it was not
too much effeot. I do not know your original intension for the Borland
compiler #if but it seems Borland has the same namespace issue from looking
at the code -- and that's why I proposed simply extending the #if condition
to VC8 (looks like VC7.1 has the bug too from Johan's report)

There are only a few places that need the patch (and you already did that
for Borland)
