OK I guess a bit too trigger happy with this post. 

I was retesting and release works but debug doesn't...

I'm guessing this is due to the fact we have iterator optimisation for
release and not for debug e.g. _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0
For some reason debug is linking or pulling in the release library of
boost, now I know that I guess it's as good as solved.

Sorry for the post, hope it proves useful to someone in future.
