Question

Answer 1

This is a known limitation of the Visual Studio 2010 C++ compiler. Here is the connect issue tracking it

It's currently marked as fixed in the next version

Answer 2

It's not conformant to the final draft, but it is conformant to the wording at the time at which they were implemented- i.e., it's not really a VS defect but neither is it exactly Standard. The next version, colloquially known as vNext, will have an implementation updated to use the latest wording.
