Indeed. I also noticed that I only observed this behavior with the templated
class overriding operator &.

What really baffled me (and relieved, at the same time since it allowed me to
work-around) is that doing a static_cast (in the original example) forced it to
find the template.  Similarly, a case I didn't include was naming a const char
** local and assigning it the result of the & operator.  This also works,
probably for the same internal reasons as static_cast does.
