Now I see problems in other libraries too.

3 and 4 was ok because there was only 1 module tested 
--libraries=geometry. For 2 I tested also core and test.

I tested it locally running (in case someone would like to play with it 
too):
b2 status --dump-tests --debug-configuration

and found out that the problem is related with the usage of 
'build-project' in Jamfiles.
This is not only seen in Geometry, though it's the library that uses 
this instruction most extensively.

E.g. see:
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/geometry.html
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/math.html
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/functional-hash.html

The projects aren't parsed recursively since ~6.06.2014. What's going on?
May it be caused by some invalid Jamfiles added recently for some other 
libraries?
