Are you sure?
To make sure we are on the same page, I am looking at:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/branches/release/boost/throw_exception.hpp
An exception is not thrown if and only if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
This has always been the case.
It sounds like you are interpreting "BOOST_EXCEPTION_DISABLE defined"
to mean "exception not thrown" but that's not the case. It merely
disables the new functionality the Boost.Exception library.
