[boost] boost_filesystem bug?

Is there a limitation on leading dots on directory names in
boost::filesystem::path?  The following code aborts on my debian machine
with libboost-dev 1.30.0-4

---- Code ----
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>

int main ()
{
  boost::filesystem::path p ("/tmp/.temp/1.txt");
  std::cout << p.string () << std::endl;
  std::cout << p.leaf () << std::endl;
  std::cout << p.branch_path ().string () << std::endl;

  boost::filesystem::path q ("/tmp/..temp/1.txt");
  std::cout << q.string () << std::endl;
  std::cout << q.leaf () << std::endl;
  std::cout << q.branch_path ().string () << std::endl;
}

---- Output ----
/tmp/.temp/1.txt
1.txt
/tmp/.temp
Aborted

---- GDB backtrace ----
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/tim/public/src/personal/tjukebox/test/foo 
/tmp/.temp/1.txt
