The CC_SPRITEBATCHNODE_DEBUG_DRAW define not even appear any where in the code , only in the ccConfig.h file.

few more things ,
the fix to the ccDrawPoly is to replace it with DrawPrimitives::drawPoly(vertices, 4, true);
BUT , as i see in the CCSprite class , the bounding box is drawen only when using as being rendered using an SpriteBatchNode.
and never other case , this is problem when your sprite is not part of SpriteBatchNode.
for example using Sprite as Animation container for SpriteFrame's
for now i just overwrite the draw method of the Sprite to draw bounding box like this :

void MySprite::draw()
{
     Sprite::draw();


    _customCommand.init(_globalZOrder);
    _customCommand.func = CC_CALLBACK_0(Block::onDraw, this);
    Director::getInstance()->getRenderer()->addCommand(&_customCommand); 


}
void MySprite::onDraw()
{

    kmMat4 oldMat;
    kmGLGetMatrix(KM_GL_MODELVIEW, &oldMat);
    kmGLLoadMatrix(&_modelViewTransform);

    //draw
    CHECK_GL_ERROR_DEBUG();
    // draw bounding box
    Point vertices[4] = {
        Point( _quad.bl.vertices.x, _quad.bl.vertices.y ),
        Point( _quad.br.vertices.x, _quad.br.vertices.y ),
        Point( _quad.tr.vertices.x, _quad.tr.vertices.y ),
        Point( _quad.tl.vertices.x, _quad.tl.vertices.y ),
    };
    //ccDrawPoly(vertices, 4, true);
    DrawPrimitives::drawPoly(vertices, 4, true);
     //end draw
    kmGLLoadMatrix(&oldMat);

}
