 Microsoft Response

 Thank you for filing this issue.  You are correct in that this is a bug in
 our compiler, however, there are some mitigating factors here.  This
 warning is off-by-default in the compiler, and can only be turned on with
 /Wall (which is rare), or using /Za.  And, as with all warnings, it is not
 an error unless combined with /WX (even under /Za) and can always be
 disabled with the compiler switch /wd or #pragma warning.  Given these
 mitigating factors, we have prioritized this bug below more severe issues,
 and are not planning to fix this in our next release.

 Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention!
