There is a simple test case attached to 
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1584. It is about the most 
trivial use of BoostBook, QuickBook and Doxygen imaginable. With this 
little test, I can reproduce Beman's problem (or some problem) with the 
Windows tool chain. Oddly, it works under cygwin.

Looks like Doxygen is correctly emitting XML, but that our collect.xsl 
transform is failing to do anything meaningful with it. I'm looking into it.
