There was a recent (jun 21) bug-fix in date-time that was preventing correct
serialization of special values -- even with text archives -- so it's likely
that's what you are seeing.  I haven't tried the binary archive, but there's
no reason it shouldn't work.  I believe you should be able to just pickup the
latest version of gregorian/greg_serialize.hpp and
posix_time/time_serialize.hpp to try it out.
