Moral of the story: don't edit the files in boost/.

Good! but even if all are fixed, it is not good to have these subtle issues where users have to be careful. Part of the problem is that many tools such as IDE's with built-in symbol browsing, debugers etc. will lead users to those headers they should not edit.

Perhaps 'b2 headers' should create these files protected from modification?

That seems like a workable solution to me; I'm not sure whether it will satisfy everybody though. - Volodya
