It is not spurious, it is probably a UTF-8 file or something.  Can you
attach it, if so then we can confirm that.

But yes, you can do such a replacement with Boost.Regex, although I
would recommend doing it with Boost.Xpressive instead (it even has an
example doing such a replace in the docs, and if you use the static
version it will run faster).
