The answer can be found here:

I concede that this should be added to the documentation.   Feel free to
open a trac item to remind me of this.  

So the solution is to wrap your int inside a class. This will give it a
unique type and distinguish from all the other int instances you don't
really want to track.  Also you can use BOOST_SERIALIZATION to create a
wrapper.
