Enclosing N1::o between parentheses should have worked, because, in
pointer-to-member expressions, there must not be parentheses enclosing 
the qualified name.  Unfortunately, it does not work, and g++ creates
a pointer to member anyway...

Here are two working alternatives I can think of:

        N1 *this1 = this; g(&this1->o);
        g(&this->N1::o);

The problem seems to be in qualified name lookup, because:

	OID& o_ref = N1::o;

prints:

test.cc: In method `void ::n2::N2::f()':
test.cc:26: warning: initializing non-const `OID &' with `OID ::n1::N1::*' will use a temporary
