It is a language problem. My initial thought that it could be a compiler
problem, is invalid (my thanks to Jason for his help here). The following is
going on here:
The relevant constructors are:
a) template<class InputIter> vector(InputIter, InputIter);
and simplified (i.e. ignoring default arguments):
b) vector(initializer_list<value_type>);
When considering vector<Matrix>, (b) is the clear winner, but when considering
vector<Vector> (b) would not be viable for {a,b}, so the constructor template
(a) is tried in the second phase and matches as well. There is no ordering
between those two cases, therefore the final ambiguity.
