It's possible that the use of the "automatic library selection"
feature plus the temporary presence of a bug plus some dependency
which bjam is unable to scan through, probably because it's obscured
by macros, is causing the problem.  Did you try a fresh rebuild of
everything?

If the automatic library selection feature is designed in such a way
as to prevent bjam from seeing through it, we ought to correct that.
