I can assure this. I just built the 1.33.1 version.
The only linker directives relevant to runtime lib linking for the
libboost_thread-vc71-mt-s-1_33_1.lib
are indeed:
/DEFAULTLIB: "libcpmt"   ...  the static multithreaded C++ runtime
/DEFAULTLIB: "LIBCMT"    ...  the static multithreaded C runtime

I cannot imagine how it should be possible to build the library with the
multithreaded requirement missing. In my opinion this should not be 
possible without modifying the source before compiling the library.

The best advice I can give, is to start over with a fresh download and 
compile of the library.
