I have also reported and not seen rejected: 
(easily lost in the volume surrounding a release)

[2 Random fixes also required for Graph]

The __BORLANDC__ test should be replaced by a defect-tagging macro
covering Borland's inability to use BOOST_STATIC_CONST constants as
template parameters.

I also reported the following one-liner on the Spirit list last night:

===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/boost/boost/boost/spirit/utility/scoped_lock.hpp,v
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -r1.2 scoped_lock.hpp

>             typename as_parser<ParserT>::type

80a84
> #endif

In this case, borland could not cope with a
fully-qualified-including-namespace typename for a template parameter. 
Might be worth another defect macro
