The default encoding for narrow and wide characters char and wchar_t in Boost libraries mirrors the default encoding for these characters in C++ and the standard library, which is in turn mirroring the default encoding supplied by various operating systems. It is as simple as that.
So if you want a change, convince these folks to change their default encoding, and give users a chance to adjust to that change.
+1 The idea that one change should be propogated all boost libraries over the authority of boost library authors has created havoc before. I'm refering to the the redefinition/repurposing of BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION Robert Ramey
