FWIW I ran the tests on the current develop branch locally on Windows using

b2 -j6 test 
toolset=msvc-10.0,msvc-11.0,msvc-12.0,msvc-14.0,msvc-14.1,msvc-14.2,clang-win 
variant=debug,release

There was a single failure, clang-win in release,

...failed testing.capture-output 
..\..\bin.v2\libs\filesystem\test\operations_unit_test.test\clang-win-10.0.0\release\threading-multi\operations_unit_test.run...

but it's also present on the master branch, so it's not a regression.
