With 1.34.1 RC2 it works as expected. I didn't test other boost versions.
I didn't test 1.34.1 before, since format doesn't appear in the list of 
updated libraries in the 1.34 announcment. In additon, what happend to 
the bug I've described here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/144825

?
(I filed a bug in the boost bugtracker too, but couldn't recover the 
bugtracker let alone the filed bug).
