The syntax for inline index declaration was added in SQL Server 2014, though that is was absolutely unclear in the official CREATE TABLE documentation.

The other instances, where this syntax is working for you, must be on SQL Server 2014 or newer.

On 2012, regardless of compatibility level, you'll need to create the index separately.
