I don't know, but the dmc toolset is broken for the same reason. Actually 
this seems to me to be a bad design decision: why would the compilers 
include directory be present on the command line at all?  If my compilers 
environment has been modified to place some other directory first (for 
example in vcvars32.bat) then why would bjam subvert that?
