Well, a bug report at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/
has a similar effect. See e.g. 
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11511
which crops up with boost::mpl.

Putting gcc-killer code in boost is a nice approach
but has the disadvantage of some delay until developers
get aware of it. 

Also the side effect is that my boost-based code does not 
compile with gcc from time to time, which leaves me rather 
unproductive.

Please (!) go and file an appropriate bug report at the site I mentioned.

Markus - who hopes the new gcc parser will get stable some day :-(
