Did you send an issue report to Microsoft as well?

I don't think these are valid. One above for example if trivial function:

void
compiler_log_formatter::log_start( std::ostream& output, counter_t 
test_cases_amount )
{
    if( test_cases_amount > 0 )
        output  << "Running " << test_cases_amount << " test "
                << (test_cases_amount > 1 ? "cases" : "case") << "...\n";
}

Boost.Test trcks memory itself with MS runtime. I would report one if it 
existed.
