auto compiler error with multiple name declaration by G M Sanders

The following code snippet fails to compile:

    int a[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
    auto b=std::begin(a), e=std::end(a);

1> ... error C3538: in a declarator-list 'auto' must always deduce to the same type
1>         could be 'int *'
1>         or     'int *'

However, this works:

    int a[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
    auto b=std::begin(a);
    auto e=std::end(a);

This was originally submitted to the c++ user group at comp.lang.c++.moderated and it was concluded that this is a compiler bug.
