I suggest synthesizing the return value yourself:

C:\Temp>type purr.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    vector<int> v;

    v.push_back(11);
    v.push_back(22);
    v.push_back(33);
    v.push_back(44);
    v.push_back(55);

    auto first = v.begin() + 1;
    auto last = v.begin() + 3;

    auto index = first - v.begin();
    v.erase(first, last);
    auto i = v.begin() + index;

    if (i == v.end()) {
        cout << "EPIC FAIL" << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "This should be 44: " << *i << endl;
    }
}

C:\Temp>cl /EHsc /nologo /W4 /MTd purr.cpp
purr.cpp

C:\Temp>purr
This should be 44: 44

Thanks,
STL

Any chance for a workaround?
