Ok, more ideas:

1. Could you remove all bin directories and rebuild? Maybe, somehow, library
was not updated.

2. I presume you're using Boost.Build V1? Maybe, you can get preprocessed
version of custom_syntax.cpp with

   bjam -n -sBUILD="gcc <cxxflags>-save-temps"

and see if specialization for std::string is declared. Maybe, some other
header is used.

3. Does mingw has a tool to look at content of library/object file? On
linux, readelf might be used. If yes, it should be possible to look at
content of value_semantic.obj, the library and the referring file to figure
if necessary definition is provided. If there's no such tool, or you never
used it, you can send me the files (off-list, to reduce traffic), and I'll
take a look.
