You need
t.template f< T >();
The type of 't' depends on the template parameter 'G'. There is no
guarantee that in every specialisation of the template 'Test' the member
'f' will be a template. If the compiler is not told explicitly that 'f'
is in fact a template, it should assume that it is _not_, and parse '<'
as less-than rather than opening a template parameter.
