The semantics of boost::throw_exception have not changed. Users are
not required to surround a call to throw_exception with #if
BOOST_NO_TYPEID.

The user-reported problem was due to user error. They had violated the
general Boost requirement to #define BOOST_NO_TYPEID if they don't
want Boost libraries to use typeid.
