[boost] [regex] issue with regex_dll_config_info test?

Hello!

Looking at libs/regex/test/Jamfile, I'm puzzled by the following 
part:

     [ run config_info/regex_config_info.cpp <template>test 
      : : : <test-info>always_show_run_output ]

     [ run config_info/regex_config_info.cpp <template>test 
      : : : <test-info>always_show_run_output
      : regex_dll_config_info ]

The name of second tests suggests it should somehow test the regex library 
built as DLL, or something. However, there are no other differences between 
the tests, and test name does not affect anything at all. I did verify that 
running the second tests links to a static version of Boost.Regex, and that
the generated library has no dynamic links to any boost libraries, just the 
system ones. So, it looks like tests are completely identical.

Is that a bug? Maybe, the second test using be using <template>test-dll?
