Sorry about that. I wasn't seeing any of the errors in my testcases on MSVC6, 
and apparently the problem is triggered by something in Boost.Python does (I 
can't duplicate it here in my own testcases). So I foolishly assumed that 
your checkin (1.42) fixed the issue completely.

I've pulled out the 'deprecated' parameters, returning the 'set' methods to 
their normal signatures. I hope this solves the problem. Maybe I'll have to 
use __declspec(deprecated) after all.
