Thanks to Carl and Jonathan for such helpful
comments on Lk 2:2. Last night I was doing some
reading and ran across an F. F. Bruce comment
on this very topic:

        "Luke 2:2, which mentions Quirinius in
        connexion with an earlier census, is best
        translated: "This enrollment was before
        that made when Quirinius was governor
        of Syria." (cf. N. Turner, Grammatical
        Insights Into The Greek New Testament
        [ Edinburgh, 1966 ], pp. 23f).

This is found in Bruce's, New Testament History, p32
note 1.

My comment is that this is also the translation adopted by Nolland in the
Word Biblical Commentary on Luke.
