No bug here (I think), as per [1], a cancelled operation will be invoked 
with an error code - this is so one can discern between a normal 
invocation and a cancel or error.

Your handler could be updated like so:

void handler(const boost::system::error_code &ec)
{
    if (!ec)
    {
       cout << "Forbidden handler" << endl;
       assert(0);
    }
    else
       cout << "Timer1 interrupted by someone." << endl;
}
