I found it. It is likely a variant of the known bug documented at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#parsing I need the paranthesis since my C++ code is synthesized from another language. Having paranthesis ensures that operator precedence is preserved during the translation. I will have to work around with things like (0, std::less<int>()(10,20)).
