Easy one:

   14.6.1  Locally declared names                            [temp.local]

    1 Within the scope of a class template, when the name of the template is
    neither  qualified  nor followed by <, it is equivalent to the name of
    the template followed  by  the  template-parameters  enclosed  in  <>.
    [Example:  the  constructor  for  Set  can  be referred to as Set() or
    Set<T>().  ] Other specializations (_temp.expl.spec_) of the class can
    be  referred  to  by  explicitly qualifying the template name with the
    appropriate template-arguments.  [Example:
    template<class T> class X {
	    X* p;                   // meaning X<T>
	    X<T>* p2;
	    X<int>* p3;
    };
    --end example]

So, your compiler is buggy.

It doesn't buy you anything, so far as I know, or can see from a quick
peek at [class.conv.ctor].
