I fixed the same bug on 3.4 (PR9259). The problem there was that unqualified
lookup was failing to get into the current class (you can see my patch here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-01/msg01317.html). But the problem in
your case might be totally unrelated, I don't know.

I think your best bet would be to isolate the patch that fixed this bug on the
3.3 branch, and then try to backport it.
