Well please don't shoot the messenger!

Suggest you leave it for now. Await other reports? Works fine.
Only an annoyance for pedants that use warning level 4 I think.

| It doesn't make any sence. class predicate_result has a 
| non-const method 
| mesage() already with completely different semantic. You couldn't and 
| shouldn't remove const there. And this qualifier has a well 
| defined meaning.
