No, unfortunately.

This seems to hint in the direction that the internal RTTI mechanism is 
failing. Have you tried to compile with BOOST_STATECHART_USE_NATIVE_RTTI 
defined in all translation units 
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/statechart/doc/configuration.html#ApplicationDefinedMacros>? 
Please let me know whether that changes anything. Thanks.

This however does not fit with my RTTI mechanism failure theory. Even if it 
did fail, after calling initiate() the range [state_begin(), state_end()) 
should still not be empty.
