Boost 1.30.0: Problems with lexical_cast together with unsigned short and MSVC7

The code fragment below does not compile. The problem seems to be related
to wide character support.
MSVC6 works without problems.

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
int main(void)
{
    boost::lexical_cast<std::string,unsigned short>(4);
    return 0;
}

Here are the resulting error messages:

C:\devel\BOOST\1.30.0\win32-msvc7\include\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(162) :
error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand
operand of type 'std::basic_stringstream<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>::_Mystr' (or
there is no acceptable conversion)

            _Elem=wchar_t,

        ]
