Yep, BOOST_THREAD_POSIX is defined inside libs/thread/build/Jamfile.v2
even if you haven't done it when no <threadapi> is specified.
This is a tough nut to crack!

seems like you have to add all of the following

  <threadapi>win32
  <target-os>NT
  <compileflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API
  <compileflags>-DBOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS
  <compileflags>-DBOOST_THREAD_WIN32

Good luck!
