The attached patch includes a Steven Watanabe's proposed
reimplementation of boost::none and a test case
demonstrating the regression from 1.33.1.  (1.33.1 passes
this test case.)

I know that it's late in the day for fixes on the 1.34
branch, but this is silent change in behaviour in a fairly
straightforward usage of a commonly used boost library.  I
really do think it needs to be fixed before 1.34 can be
released.
