Interesting, in this case sublibs file was added 4 years ago. So either 
nobody noticed that tests are missing for 4 years or something else 
causes the problem. Assuming that it wasn't merged in master recently, 
or was it?

AFAIR there was some change in Config(?) made some time ago which also 
caused some problems with missing tests, e.g. in Geometry and Math. But 
this should be fixed now, it works in develop. May it be somehow related?

When I run:
b2 --dump-tests status/
the tests are listed. And AFAIR the results are sent to the server with 
logs and everything.

So I'm guessing that it's something wrong on the server-side or it's a 
bug in the Regression, assuming that the scripts/program generating the 
HTML results from XMLs sent by the runners is in this module.
Should I create a ticket or do you have some other ideas?
