Confirmed with 1.48:

#include <stdexcept>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
template <class Container>
void print ( const Container &c ) {
	std::cout << "{ ";
	for ( typename Container::const_iterator iter = c.begin (); iter != c.end (); ++iter )
		std::cout << *iter << " ";
	std::cout << "}" << std::endl;
	}
#include <boost/algorithm/string/classification.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string/split.hpp>
int main ( int argc, char *argv [] ) {
	std::vector<std::string> nodes;
	nodes.push_back ("z");
	print (nodes);
	boost::split (nodes, "a:b:c", boost::is_any_of(":"));
	print (nodes);
	return 0;
	}

Prints: { a b c }
