That is useful. Thanks for the report.

So .size() should indeed be boost::size(current_piece), and .clear() 
should be replaced by traits::clear<LineStringOut>::apply(current_piece);

Then on line 64, linestring[op.seg_id.segment_index] should be replaced 
by *(boost::begin(linestring) + op.seg_id.segment_index)

Sorry for these omissions, I apparently did not pay enough attention to 
this.
