Ah, sorry again for not providing these details - I'm using 
boost.filesystem from 1.34.1 release.

I also ran the failing use case under valgrind - it showed a number of
"conditional jumps on uninitialized value" somewhere deep under 
libstdc++ and also a couple of "4 bytes uninitialized read". I don't
know if it's related to the problem though - I was just trying to do 
what I can.

The problem is rather serious for me - I'm ready to do whatever it's 
needed to help the boost.filesystem maintainer (is it you?) investigate 
and fix the problem.
