 Because it would be a preprocessor bug, and I'm sure there are no bugs
 in this area in CPP.

 You should investigate what the issue is.  Have you created preprocessed
 source and examined it?  Have you created preprocessed source with a
 compiler that works and examined it?  I bet there's a difference, and we
 need to know what is causing it.

 Well, I don't want to close something that is a bug, but you have not
 convinced me it is a bug.  I urge you to find out what exactly is odd
 about the preprocessed source, and *why* it is odd.  Otherwise we'll
 never get anywhere - I can't replicate your system, only you can.
 
 Have you created the preprocessed source?  Can you send it to me?
 Can you send me the preprocessed source from a compiler that works?
