Glad it helped :)
Trying to silence the warning locally for a function where boost.lambda is used does not work because apparently it is required the warning to be disabled both at the point of instantiation (in your function) AND at template definition (in boost.lambda headers) for msvc not to issue the warning. That is easily achieved if you disable the warning at the beginning of the .cpp file and leave it disabled throughout it.
<caveat> This explanation of msvc behavior is based on my guess only, haven't tried that. </caveat>
