boost calls t(''), which is not only useless, but clutters up the locales table. worse, if a user somehow manages to enter a translation for this string, empty strings all over the site will suddenly be populated with this translation. i had this problem and boost was the only module in my site's directory which calls t('') so i think it might be to blame.
