C++11 MSVS vs GCC which is more correct with regards to templates

I just want to ask why MSVS2013 complains with this code unlike GCC(4.8.3 at least):

template <typename T>
struct MyClass
{
    typedef std::function<T*()> FunctionType;
    static FunctionType funcObj;
};

template <typename T> typename MyClass<T>::FunctionType MyClass<T>::funcObj =
    []{return new T();};

In msvs2013, it complains this: Error 1 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T'

And to fix, i have to modify it to this:

template <typename T>
struct MyClass
{
    typedef std::function<T*()> FunctionType;
    static FunctionType funcObj;

    static T* foo()
    {
        return new T();
    }
};

template <typename T> typename MyClass<T>::FunctionType MyClass<T>::funcObj =
    MyClass<T>::foo;

NOTE: 'MyClass < T > ::' is not necessary at the last line. I just want to imply that T is still usable on the right hand side of the operation(to be assigned), and when T was inside the lambda, it is not usable anymore.

Which one complies correctly in the current standard? Is there any way to ensure that the typename is still usable in a lambda in such cases?

Thank you in advance!
