State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed. It works in 3.2.1pre, though. The shortest example
    I can come up with is this:
    ----------------------------------
    template <class>
    class Base {
      protected:
        typedef int Type;
    };
    
    template <class T>
    struct Derived : public Base<T> {
        typedef typename Base<T>::Type Type;
    
        template <class Arg>
        void f(Type = Type()) {};
    };
    
    template void Derived<char>::f<int> (Type);
    -----------------------------------
    Making one of the templates a non-template makes the bug
    go away. What is also surprising is the three-fold output
    gcc gives:
    --------------------------------------
