Someone just butted heads with this issue in a "real life" application where they are consuming this method signature - ie, they can't change it themselves. Can it get some love from a willing volunteer? 
By the way, duck typing is a hacky work-around for this issue until it can be resolved properly.

It may have something to do with overloaded methods. The example below just has internal calls and it fails too.
//comment out this 1st method and this script will work
def doit(s as string):
print "doit1", s
def doit(s as string, *args as (object)):
print "doit2", s, join(args,"-")
vars = ("Hello", "World")
doit("{0}, {1}", *vars)
Also in python you can use the unpack operator with methods that don't take a variable number of parameters, but this doesn't work in boo:
def testit(s1, s2, s3):
print s1, s2, s3
vars = ("Hello", "World", "!!!")
testit(*vars) //would unpack into:
//testit(vars[0], vars[1], vars[2])
