Problem with MatExpr max( abs(A), abs(B) ) (Bug #2545)

I'm having trouble (compile error) when trying the MatExpr above. From what I read in the documentation, the combination

Mat e, b;
Mat m = max( abs(e), abs(b) );

should be legal. However, I'm getting:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\xutility(604): error C2678: binary '!' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'cv::MatExpr' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

First using abs in temporary matrices and then max'ing works.
I'm using 2.4.3 release on a 64 Bit Windows7 machine.
