A bit more information...
It seems template methods of a normal class have the same problem
class MyClass
{
template<class C> C convert();
};
MyClass m;
float f=m.convert<float>();
is not happy either, while the following works fine outside a class
template<class C> C standalone_convert();
float f=m.standalone_convert<float>();
