Comment:

 Note, this doesn't belong to the Boost Config component. It belongs to
 either of the build components.

 This is intentional. It does detect 10.5, it's just that it defaults to
 using 10.4 for compatibility of code. Apple deprecated all non-64bit API
 calls in 10.5 which would cause a horrendous set of useless warnings. You
 can choose to build 10.5 by manually specifying "macosx-version=10.5" in
 the bjam command options.

 If you think this is an incorrect default choice please bring up the
 issues on either the build or dev lists.
