Thank you, Marcel, for reporting this. I added a test in

https://github.com/boostorg/bind/commit/b4881265fbe2100211a7ffb734ce2aaa0d009835

and then fixed it in

https://github.com/boostorg/bind/commit/42b5cef177603328ead66bc6a98a3067aebc433d

Would appreciate if you give this change a try and see if it has any 
unwanted consequences.
