State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  According to example in 14.6.1 p1,  the constructor for Set can be referred to as Set() or Set<T>().

 14.6.1, p1 talks about references to unqualfied names of templates,
 which inevitably excludes declarations that appear outside of the
 class template definition. Also, examples are not normative :)
 
 The test case is ill-formed according to 14.2, p2 and must be
 diagnosed by a conforming implementation.

>Description:
gcc accepts the following bogus definition of a
member of a template class (note the second occurence
of the template arg after the _funtion_ name -- since this
is not a member template, this is clearly not ok):
-----------------------------------------
template <int dim> class X { X(); };
template <int dim> X<dim>::X<dim> () {};
----------------------------^^^^^--------
Since this does not prevent one from anything else, 
I rated this bug into the lowest category :-)
