Comment (by Chris Burghart <burghart@…>):

 Stepping through the str() call pointed out my problem, when I saw that
 the headers being used were coming from a Boost installation under
 /usr/local (a Boost 1.44 copy which I did not realize was there). I
 thought I only had Boost 1.46 from a standard package installation under
 /usr.

 With no special compiler flags, the 1.44 headers were being loaded from
 /usr/local/include, but the program was linking with the 1.46 library in
 /usr/lib. That seems to trigger the problem, likely related to different
 inlined implementations of boost::basic_regex::str().

 Regardless, things work correctly if I build strictly with either the 1.44
 copy of Boost or the 1.46 copy. I.e., it's my own dang fault.

 Sorry for the trouble!
