I'm not sure if Jonathan Turkanis is actively maintaining Boost.Iostreams? Although there are changes to the library on the trunk, there doesn't appear to be any real differences between Boost.Iostreams in 1.35.0 and the current release branch.

I just looked at the ticket, and while it does appear "trivial", it doesn't appear to have an explicit patch attached to the ticket. My guess is that if there were an explicit tested patch (including a fix and a test case) attached to the ticket, that some boost developer would take up the mantle.
Since the fix appears to be a trivial addition of try { /*...*/ }
