However, I'm still getting a compile error with gcc4.5.1.  A partial
list of the compilation output is also attached.
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Apparently gcc4.5.1 is more stringent about converting value types to
reference types.

Changing:

       template
       < typename VisitorType
       , typename IndexType
       >
       inline typename VisitorType::result_type
     apply_visitor_impl
       ( VisitorType& rVisitor
       , boost::mpl::true_ /*is_unrolled_t*/
       ) const
     {
           typedef typename
         boost::mpl::at<Typelist, IndexType>::type
       type_t;
       return
         rVisitor
           ( boost::static_pointer_cast<typename type_t::value_type>
             ( m_spSelect
             )
           );
     }

to:

       template
       < typename VisitorType
       , typename IndexType
       >
       inline typename VisitorType::result_type
     apply_visitor_impl
       ( VisitorType& rVisitor
       , boost::mpl::true_ /*is_unrolled_t*/
       ) const
     {
           typedef typename
         boost::mpl::at<Typelist, IndexType>::type::value_type
       value_t;
         boost::shared_ptr<value_t>
       spc(boost::static_pointer_cast<value_t>(m_spSelect));
       return rVisitor(spc);
     }

at around line 163 of CLoPtrVariant.hpp solved problem.
