[Voted into WP at the October, 2006 meeting.]
The description of dependent function calls in 13.8.3 [temp.dep] paragraph 1 applies only to identifiers in postfix-notation function calls and to operator notation calls for operator functions:
In an expression of the form:
postfix-expression ( expression-listopt )
where the postfix-expression is an identifier, the identifier denotes a dependent name if and only if any of the expressions in the expression-list is a type-dependent expression (13.8.3.3 [temp.dep.expr]). If an operand of an operator is a type-dependent expression, the operator also denotes a dependent name.
It would appear from the related passage in 13.8.4.2 [temp.dep.candidate] paragraph 1 that the description of postfix-notation function calls should apply to all unqualified-ids that are not template-ids, including operator-function-ids, not just to identifiers:
For a function call that depends on a template parameter, if the function name is an unqualified-id but not a template-id, the candidate functions are found...
Proposed resolution (October, 2005):
Change 13.8.3 [temp.dep] paragraph 1 as indicated:
...In an expression of the form:

where the postfix-expression is an
identifierunqualified-id but not a template-id, theidentifierunqualified-id denotes a dependent name if and only if any of the expressions in the expression-list is a type-dependent expression (13.8.3.3 [temp.dep.expr])...
Change 13.8.4.2 [temp.dep.candidate] paragraph 1 as indicated:
For a function call that depends on a template parameter, if the function name is an unqualified-id but not a template-id, or if the function is called using operator notation, the candidate functions are found using the usual lookup rules (6.5.3 [basic.lookup.unqual], 6.5.4 [basic.lookup.argdep]) except that...
