Here's a (sloppy) GDB backtrace right before the ASSERT fails:

http://veox.pw/dump/obworker-2013-12-11.gdb.txt

Note that I've moved the assertion code to the end of
protocol::handle_connect(...), so that it triggers after
connections_ is pushed to, not on the next pass. I can produce a
backtrace with vanilla code, too, if needed, or with an unoptimized
build of libbitcoin/obelisk.

I've tried changing both ASSERTs in protocol.cpp like this:

-    BITCOIN_ASSERT(connections_.size() <= max_outbound_);
+    BITCOIN_ASSERT(connections_.size() <= max_outbound_+1);


It still triggers, so this not an OBOE.

I'll try with more log_debug()'s.
