Very strange indeed. At first I suspected that the virus scanner is
interfering but the results are exactly the same if it is disabled. The 
executable does disappear after execution, BTW.

I assume you mean

bjam -a -otest.bat -sTOOLS=mingw RunFailTest

(note the missing .run)

When I do that the del command does not end up in the test.bat file, see 
attached. I used the following command line to make test.bat:

bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" 
"-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\ProgramFiles\MinGW3.2.0" -a -otest.bat 
RunFailTest

I'll try the same stuff tomorrow on my laptop...
