Any failures on msvc 6.5 are expected ;). I don't test against this compiler anymore and have no way of ensuring that my own unit test pass it. And that's beside the point that even only critical issues affecting boost regression testing are going to be fixed.
Unfortunately this seems to collide with the agreement, that 1.34 is the last official release that will support the msvc-6.5 compiler. Another try to reach a compromise: You termed the patch to work around the embedded callback "a ugly hack" and want to keep the code-base clean. Ok, I can understand this very well, and wouldn't object. But we could apply this patch _only_ in the RC_1_34_0 branch, make msvc-6.5 happy _and_ keep the test code base clean for further development. Would you also object against this? Thank you for your patience. Roland Btw.: I would be interested what Thomas Witt has to say about the issue.
