In latest version answer is clear yes. In previos there maybe some bugs.

Use BOOST_CHECK_THROW, BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION. If you want behavior similar 
to the "expected failures" feature it can't be done. Uncaught C++ exception 
is considered a fatal test case failure and can't be hidden (since the rest 
of the test case is skipped and we don't know how many failures actually 
occurs.
