Good news.  Luckily I was able to pinpoint the exact line of code
causing VS to crash, and two different workarounds:

Crashes VS:
        return Foo_ptr(new Foo());

Workaround 1:
        return boost::shared_ptr<Foo>(new Foo());

Workaround 2:
        Foo_ptr ret(new Foo());
        return ret;

(Foo_ptr is a typedef of boost::shared_ptr<Foo>)
