Could you provide the bjam output with "-n". Somewhere in there it should be
trying to do a "PATH=...".

But the most likely culprit from a quick look might be this line in
intel-win32-tools.jam:

flags intel-win32 RUN_PATH : "$(INTEL_PATH)"\\Bin ;

Why is that line there?

You might want to try removing it see if things improve/worsen.
