You might be getting bit by section 5.3.1 of the standard:
    &foo::bar   is a pointer-to-member, but
    &(foo::bar)   is not.
Further questions about the standard might better be
asked in the comp.std.c++ newsgroup.

Hmm, seems to me that this would discourage most programmers
from using pointers-to-members at all.  ("Doc, it hurts when
I do this...")
