Research direction
The failure is in CMake configuration, so start with test/CMakeLists.txt, where the proposed set(__ignore__ Boost::interprocess) line would go. Reproduce by running cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES=geometry from a Boost superproject checkout and read the linked CI log to see which dependency the scanner misses. Done when that configure command succeeds and the test targets still build.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES=geometry fails because the superproject dependency scanner doesn't see the dependency on Interprocess as it's in the index subdirectory.

The easiest way to fix that (that comes to mind) would be to add somewhere in test/CMakeLists.txt the dummy line
set(__ignore__ Boost::interprocess)
