The issue is resolved.

That has forced me to think in the beginning, that it is a mistake is specific 
only for 64-bit Windows, not so important.

Neither incorrect optimization in the 64-bit compiler (as it was in the 
Sigurd's case) nor misoperation of the serialization library in multithreaded 
environment (as it is noticed by Robert) was a reason. The reason was very 
simple: in one of the classes the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT macro was used before 
inclusion export.hpp, that led to the class registration code was not 
instantiated.

It is a good lesson for me: the failure to find a time for writing a test 
framework has led to much greater losses of time.

Thanks, Sigurd and Robert, for your time. Though your replies have not pointed 
to the real reason, they pushed me to think in another direction and eventually 
to resolve the problem.
