OK, junctions are used for the directories on Windows if symlinks are 
not working.

perhaps, but it could also be something else.  I you do not mind, could 
you try in a clone for used testing only, or at least not where you have 
work you have not committed:

rm boost/filesystem.h

b2 headers

cd libs/filesystem

git reset --hard HEAD

then edit

boost/filesystem.h
or
libs/filesystem/include/boost/filesystem.h

Then compare them, if they are the same, then I am very interested in 
understanding why.
