I was having a similar issue with msvc8.  Not sure what the underlying
problem is but I ended up just using the template keyword
conditionally for non-MSVC compilers.  I.e., something like

#include <boost/config.hpp>
...

boost::bind(&bound::
#ifndef BOOST_MSVC
  template
#endif
    operator&<T>,
    instance,
    obj);

It would probably be cleaner to define something like
TEMPLATE_OPERATOR to template for non-msvc and to nothing for msvc,
and use that instead.  Maybe something like that is already defined
somewhere.

HTH,
