There are a couple of possibilities. One is that you've set some CXX_FLAGS that are different from what the boost::regex packager used in a way that affects the mangling, the other is that boost::regex was somehow built without ICU support.

Unless you're conversant in using nm to examine binaries your best bet is to ask the distro's boost::regex packager.
