It's easy to reproduce - include Boost.Python into the status/jamfile, and
you'll get what we are getting. We would appreciate if somebody with
adequate amount of bjam knoweledge could look at this in more detail -
apparently we don't have enough qualification to understand what's
happenning there, and certainly not enough time to get ourselves to that
level.

Not exactly. 'process_jam_log' is at fault, here. Beman's reply was that
it's a feature, but it just doesn't seem to be practical or reasonable to
maintain that requirement.
