Okay, I gave compiling the beta 1 another shot, as follows:
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/martin/app/boost/installation --with-icu=/home/martin/app/icu/installation
./b2 -sICU_PATH=/home/martin/app/icu/installation install >out.b2.install 2>&1 &

the b2 output then does start as follows:
Performing configuration checks

    - has_icu builds           : yes
warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components.
note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam
    - iconv (libc)             : yes
    - icu                      : yes

... but then later on there are compilation errors in Boost.Locale, such as:

The above errors are probably caused because I did what ICU recommends you do (for the first time ever), which is:
-#       define U_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE 1
+        // Set to 0 to force namespace declarations in ICU usage.
+#       define U_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE 0in the ICU unicode/uversion.h file

The above is advised in ICU 's readme.html in the How To Build And Install ICU / Recommended Build Options section...  Has that advice become incorrect in recent ICU versions, perhaps?
