I just finished installing VStudio.net 2003 (which is 7.1, I believe), 
and this definitely looks like a bug in visual studio.
The following sample exhibits the same behaviour

template<class T>
struct A {
   typedef T* some_type;
};

template<class T>
struct B {
   typedef typename A<T>::some_type  le_type;
   le_type some_f();
};

template<class T>
typename B<T>::le_type B<T>::some_f() {
   le_type x;
   return x;
}

Is it a known bug ?

Replacing B<T>::le_type  with A<T>::some_type  when defining 
B<T>::some_f()  seem to be a work around.
