Comment (by lcarreon@…):

 FYI, this issue is still occurring in Boost 1.53.0.

 Here is an extract of the messages generated by Boost Build that could
 explain why this issue is occurring:

    msvc.link.dll bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\bzip2\msvc-11.0\release
 \address-model-32\threading-multi\boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.dll

    c:\bzip2-1.0.6\libbz2.def(2) : warning LNK4017: DESCRIPTION statement
 not supported for the target platform; ignored

    Creating library bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\bzip2\msvc-11.0\release
 \address-model-32\threading-multi\boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.lib and object
 bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\bzip2\msvc-11.0\release\address-model-32
 \threading-multi\boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.exp

    boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.exp : warning LNK4070: /OUT:LIBBZ2.dll
 directive in .EXP differs from output filename
 'bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\bzip2\msvc-11.0\release\address-model-32
 \threading-multi\boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.dll'; ignoring directive

    msvc.manifest.dll bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\bzip2\msvc-11.0\release
 \address-model-32\threading-multi\boost_bzip2-vc110-mt-1_53.dll

 The explanation of the linker message LNK4070 states that it is
 recommended to modify the .def file.  Are we supposed to follow the
 recommendation before building Boost?
