Yes, Boost.Log is being tested on AppVeyor, and there is a VS2022 job
(not sure which update, though).

Is it because of this problem?

https://github.com/boostorg/parameter/issues/111

If so, it's a compiler bug. Probably, specific to C++20, because, as I
mentioned above, the AppVeyor job is there and passes.
