A few points:

0. I only tried all my tests in 32bits.
1. For completeness, here is the CMake configuration I used to generate
projects for both tests:​

cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 2.8.11 )

if( WIN32 AND CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8 )
# On Windows 64bit: check that the right boost binaries are set before
continuing
if( NOT DEFINED BOOST_LIBRARYDIR OR BOOST_LIBRARYDIR STREQUAL
"BOOST_LIBRARYDIR-NOT-SET" )
set( BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "BOOST_LIBRARYDIR-NOT-SET" CACHE PATH "Location of
the Boost library binaries" FORCE )
message( FATAL_ERROR "BOOST_LIBRARYDIR is not set (we need the 64bit
version). Before continuing, please set it to the correct binary path
(depending on if you want to link with 32 or 64bit version)." )
endif()
 endif()
# Force Boost.Thread V4 use for all projects, including dependencies.
add_definitions( -DBOOST_THREAD_VERSION=4 -DBOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE )

set( Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        ON )
set( Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON )
set( Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF )
find_package( Boost 1.54.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
system
date_time
filesystem
chrono
thread
program_options
log
log_setup
iostreams
)

if( NOT Boost_FOUND )
message( SEND_ERROR "Boost libraries NOT FOUND!" )
endif()

include_directories( ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR} )

add_executable( test main.cpp )
target_link_libraries( test ${Boost_LIBRARIES} )
# add_dependencies( test tbb )

2. The quickfix seems to work even in my application.

3. I created a ticket: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9079
