After upgrading clang on OSX 10.10 to the latest version (6.1.0), the issue seem to disappear. Upgrade on earlier versions of OSX didn't solve the problem (the latest version available for OSX 10.9 is 6.0/clang-600.0.57).

As a temporary resolution, I will disable precompiled headers on OS X platform with clang that is older than 6.1.0
