Indeed, I can confirm this on linux as well. Here's a smaller snippet:
----------------------------
extern const int a;

template <const int&> class X {};

template <typename> struct Y {
    X<a> x;
};

template struct Y<int>;
----------------------------

g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc
x.cc: In instantiation of `Y<int>':
x.cc:9:   instantiated from here
x.cc:6: error: could not convert template argument `&a' to `const int&'

This used to work, but doesn't anymore. Since it only happens if Y is
a template class, it seems as if this may have something to do with
two-stage name lookup.
