Comment:

 Do you have a sample program exhibiting an issue ?

 The locale passed to boost::format constructor is not ignored, it is
 passed as "default" locale (i.e. last argument) to the put function by
 distribute :
 put<Ch, Tr, Alloc, T> (x, self.items_[i], self.items_[i].res_,
 self.buf_, boost::get_pointer(self.loc_) );

 The put function itself relies on format_item's apply_on function to apply
 item's format state+locale (which will be self.loc_ unless an item's own
 locale was set in some way).

 I will take a deeper look into format's locale handling - there is surely
 room for improvement here and there, and at least add a paragraph to the
 documentation with simple examples.

 But user-defined locales are not "ignored", so closing the ticket as
 "invalid" unless sample complete program is supplied.
