Update

I just read the docco for threads::shared and found this gem, which explains your issue:

Using refaddr()) is unreliable for testing whether or not two shared references are equivalent (e.g., when testing for circular references). Use is_shared(), instead:

There is more detail, and an example of the correct way to test in said docco
