You are right! I haven't realised, that the path::operator/=() implicitly
calls the path() constructor when used with a string on the right sight:

    fs::path p;
    std::string s;
    ...

    p /= s;   // uses the default name checker here

This problem is fixed now (at least for the Windows environment).
Thanks!

Never mind... I've simply CC'ed my reply to the [boost] list to you, perhaps
you haven't seen it for this reason.
