 The following program is a stripped down version of something that used to
 work properly with the previous versions of Boost.  I failed to make it
 smaller.  I'm using G++ 4.2, but, fwiw, clang++ gives the same result.

 The output is:

 {{{
 FAIL: bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as
 target
 }}}

 With non-empty strings to "escape" (in the real situation, of course
 Escape does something useful), it works properly.
