I think the case is related to the example below which fails similarly
in VS 2008.  Using an inline definition works.  I'm not aware of any
other workarounds.

template <typename> struct A {};

template <typename T> struct B
{
   typedef A<T> Type; // using T works
   typedef const Type ConstType;
   Type& Get(void); // { return m; } // inline works
   ConstType& Get(void) const; // { return m; } // inline works
   Type m;
};

template <typename T>
typename B<T>::Type& B<T>::Get()
{
   return m;
}

template <typename T>
typename B<T>::ConstType& B<T>::Get() const
{
   return m;
}
