1. They did not appear during release.
2. These are tests for some advanced features used or about to be used by 
Boost.Test. They doesn't casue *any* errors outside of Boost.Test unit 
tests. And I do not see how Boost.Test is different in this regards from any 
other boost library. I just did not have time lately to mark those failures 
as expected. Would there be any showstopper failures I would bring the issue 
long before.

Does it distress you any less,  when faulures in Boost.<anything else> unit 
tests happends?
