Yea - this one really caught me by surprise as well. I'm expecting to
complete this 1.31.0-based work within the next few days and plan to grab
1.32.0 release and have another go at it. I'll write it up my results and
post some sample code.

This isn't a question but rather a quick report for my future reference - I need to circle back and try to characterize this problem more fully when I'm not on deadline and can run some additional tests with Boost 1.32.0.
Environment:
- MS 7.1 compiler w/their STL distribution - Boost 1.31.0 (my client doesn't want to update to 1.32.0 until after this release)
Summary:
boost::variant registered as an internal edge property map member on a BGL graph causes the resultant graph to be inaccessible due to what appears to be incorrect initialization of both the internal vertex and edge property maps. I SUSPECT THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS CAN BE TRACKED BACK TO A MS 7.1 COMPILER BUG due to the fact that attempts to compile my test code results in either of (a) an C1001 Internal Compiler Error (b) a error-free compile and a completely screwed runtime.
That's really strange... we've never come across any initialization problems (on any platform) with these, especially because the internal properties are just stored in lists or vectors most of the time... nothing fancy going on there.
I would appreciate if you could check with 1.32.0 and if you're still running into the problem we'll see if we can duplicate it and come up with a workaround.
