It is indeed a compiler bug. The bug does not occur with g++-3.2.1. But 
the but does not occur with gtkmm-1.2 and g++-2.95.4.

I hope debian/unstable switches to g++-3.2 soon, so I can forget about 
the old compiler (and still use the distro's libraries). I don't have 
the slightest idea about what is causing this bug on 2.0 and evading it 
on 1.2 ... (adding an integer to an empty class is not so uncommon ...)
