No, I'm afraid this is a parser bug.  I've put together a fix I'd like 
you to try out.  I don't believe it's 100% generalized yet, but I 
believe it fixes your issue and doesn't break any of the current 
regression tests.  Download it from

http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php

under date_time -- time_facet.hpp and patch it into your 
boost/date_time/ directory.

Thanks,

Jeff
