After quitting BOINC I notice close to a dozen processes remain open in the activity monitor.

And how do you quit BOINC?

What if you go this way?
BOINC Manager->Tools->Display and network options->Check "Enable Manager exit dialog?"->OK.
BOINC Manager->File->Exit->Check "Shut down running science apps on Manager exit"->OK.

BOINC consists of a client and the manager, two parts. Just shutting down BOINC Manager will not necessarily close down the underlying client. So follow the method above and I'm sure everything will shut down.

What happened here is that you probably went BOINC Manager->File->Exit once and just checked "Remember this decision and do not show this dialog", then went OK. That way, the next time you close down BOINC Manager, BOINC and the science applications stay running.
