Seems to work for me, modulo the fact that the ICU dll's seem not to get 
created by the VC project files for ICU: the .lib files work fine though. 
The only difference I see from your build is at the start where I see:

Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled
Using ICU in C:\download\open\icu_3_6\icu/include
WARNING: ICU shared common library not found in path.
HINT: If the regex library fails to link then try again
with the environment variable ICU_LINK set to contain
the linker options required to link to ICU.
Defaulting to look for libicuuc ...

The warning about not finding icuuc is a bug in the Jamfile: but it's 
harmless, and the regex library goes on to build and link OK.

I don't suppose you're building a 64-bit version of Boost and have 32-bit 
ICU libraries or something are you?  Just a wild thought...

HTH, John.
