I used 8.00.50727.42, 7.10.3077, and 7.00.9466 - which all give the
same result.

Sure - as I said, I had added this earlier due to the ambiguity (many
people, including me, assuming that [] would mean a memory
reference unconditionally, when it really doesn't in some cases,
namely when used with plain numbers).

??? It means what is says - that the operand is being treated as a memory
reference (rather than an immediate, as which it would be taken by masm).
