Thanks, Stefan.
I've created a ticket on the tracker that you provided the link to. It's
number 10799.
In this case, the fixes should be pretty simple and probably involve the
rules for linking DLLs generally and for making Python extensions. One of
the fixes just involves a change to a boost-build.jam file, so that it will
point to the same build system that the tutorial just told me to create with
the bootstrap command.

whomever will fix them.
To my knowledge, the answer to this question is actually a rather
unhappy one - I'm not sure anyone is currently maintaining
Boost.Python. I think there may still be general Boost devs who will
fix critical bugs, especially if the bug report is accompanied by a
patch, but there are a lot of stale tickets in the issue tracker
(https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost), and I don't know of anyone who
really feels any strong ownership of the library at this stage. I've
thought about stepping up to do some of it myself, but given that my
day job now involves working with Swig (even though I prefer
Boost.Python), it's just not something I can do.
I'd love to be corrected by anyone on this list who can say otherwise,
of course.
Unfortunately, I can't. In addition to that, it seems the problems
reported in this thread are rather about the build system, which at
least some of those with expertise in Boost.Python aren't very familiar
with, in particular if it affects platforms they don't use themselves.
(Specifically: I'd be happy to help fix issues with the Boost.Python
code itself, but I don't feel competent with bjam / Boost.Build, and my
knowledge of MSVC is almost non-existent, not to speak of the fact that
I have no computer near me running Windows, so I couldn't even test any
Windows-specific patches.)
