I agree the changes need testing. I have one pending pull request on Boost.Test that helps with running tests.

Next I'm working on one for Boost.Build to also help with execution of tests. This will enable running the automated Boost tests covering the Windows Runtime code paths. In addition a sample/example style test could also be created, but it is unlikely it would be runnable in an automated fashion.
If you and/or Microsoft could add some sort of periodic regression tests to the Boost testing matrix based on the work done to allow Boost libraries to work with Windows Store and Windows Phone I am sure it would be helpful to all Boost developers, especially to those whose libraries are used by the Microsoft technologies. I am pretty sure that one can create a regression test focusing on only a subset of libraries needing testing in a particular environment ( Windows 8 and 8.1 in your case with VC++ 11 and 12 I am guessing ).
