The problem is that VC2005 is ignoring 5.16/4 (about ?: ):
"If the second and third operands are lvalues and have the same type,
the result is of that type and is an lvalue."

Instead, it is applying the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion (e.g. the
array-to-pointer conversion) to the parts of the ?: expression, and thus
trying to return a pointer where an array is expected.

That's good news, I first thought that there was a bug in my code.

It's been reported and fixed apparently:

I have just downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 for VC++ 2005 Express
Edition, which I found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=7b0b0339-613a-46e6-ab4d-080d4d4a8c4e

The file I downloaded is named 'VS80sp1-KB926748-X86-INTL.exe'.
Unfortunately, it did not fix the bug, which shouldn't be a surprise, as the
report whose link you provided does not address any issues related to the
conditional operator.
