I had this problem too, a template constructor in a template class.

The error message has changed on the mainline and looks better:
tests/pr6259.cc:6: error: `X' is not a template
tests/pr6259.cc:6: error: expected `)'
tests/pr6259.cc:6: error: abstract declarator `X' used as declaration
tests/pr6259.cc:6: error: explicit instantiation of non-template `X $_0'
tests/pr6259.cc:6: error: expected `;'

I know that the follow works as expected:
template <int dim> struct T {};
struct X {
  template <int dim> X (T<dim> &) {};
};

template X::X (T<2> &);

Very much related to bug 9050 and 10832.

We now get:

pr6259.cc:7: error: `X' is not a template
pr6259.cc:7: error: expected `)' before '&' token

Jason, is this PR related to your recent work on injecting class names into
scopes? I don't know what makes gcc reject the constructor specialization,
but it seems to me that it might be because it parses the X<> part of
  template X::X<> (T<2> &)
as a class name with an invalid template argument list, rather than as
the constructor name.

W.
