In C++0x max<int> no longer designates a single template specialization, as now
there are initializer_list overloads as well:

template<class T> const T& max(const T& a, const T& b);
template<class T> T max(initializer_list<T> t);

And likewise for min.  So the type of the ?: expression is unknown.  When you
rewrite it as if/else you provide a type to resolve to, so it works.

This is not a compiler bug.  Leaving as unconfirmed and changing category to
libstdc++ in case the library folks think this is an issue worth raising with
the committee.
