Comment (by monsta@…):

 The code looks the same in 1.47, so I guess it hasn't been fixed yet. One
 of my projects is using 1.41 (historical reasons, you know...) and looks
 like it's still too early to upgrade.

 Maybe a big fat warning (with links to all the major bugs like
 [https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4660 this one]) should be added
 to the
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/serialization/doc/release.html

 release notes]...
