I just tried this and MSVC7 tells me:

test_charset.cpp(50) : error C2664: 
'boost::unit_test_framework::test_case 
*boost::unit_test_framework::create_test_case(void (__cdecl 
*)(void),std::string)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 
'boost::_bi::bind_t<R,F,L>' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void)'
         with
         [
             R=void,
             F=void (__cdecl *)(int),
             L=boost::_bi::list_av_1<int>::type
         ]
         No user-defined-conversion operator available that can 
perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

Is this a problem with me, my compiler, or something else?
