Thanks. I've filed this as internal bug number 28784. (It may or may not meet the compiler's triage bar.)

This is what I think it boils down to:

template <int check>
struct IntToVoid
{
        typedef void type;
};

template <typename T>
struct TypeToZero
{
        enum { value = 0 };
};

template <typename T>
struct Empty
{
};

template<typename T>
typename IntToVoid<(TypeToZero<Empty<T> >::value ) >::type
        foo();

template<typename T>
typename IntToVoid<(TypeToZero<Empty<T> >::value ) >::type
        foo()
{}

int main() {
        foo<int>();

        return 0;
}

If one omits the () around TypeToZero<Empty<T> >::value, it compiles 
just fine:

template<typename T>
typename IntToVoid<TypeToZero<Empty<T> >::value  >::type
        foo();

template<typename T>
typename IntToVoid<TypeToZero<Empty<T> >::value  >::type
        foo() {}
