It's more than a year later now, and I just ran into this problem with boost 1.33.1. Why was this bug closed? What is the resolution?

The reason I don't do this is that it would mix the C++ namespace with the XML one. That is, the elementname std::list would appear in the xml with <std::list>. This could create, at the very least, confusion. It might also be a problem if the serialization stream is embedded in other xml.
