Yes it should be there for symmetry.  Give this a shot:
  using boost::posix_time;
  std::string tds; //.. your duration string
  time_duration td =
boost::date_time::parse_undelimited_time_duration<time_duration>(tds);

This doesn't look like it will handle fractional seconds, but maybe you don't
need that...
