I suspect this as the cause:

../libs/statechart/test/Jamfile.v2:40: Unescaped special character in 
argument <link>shared:$(dll-export)
../libs/statechart/test/Jamfile.v2:105: Unescaped special character in 
argument <link>shared:$(dll)

Haven't looked at it too deeply though.

You can exclude statechart from the tests by using 
`--exclude-tests=statechart`.
