Whoops. In the rush to simplify the example, I hadn't noticed that the  
error messages had changed. Here is the error when a wstring is  
properly constructed:

Sorry about that. The following code will work as a workaround, but I  
was wondering what others are doing when they have a wstring.

std::wstring testString;
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(testString.c_str(), L"");
