That's line 583 in my copy, but there's definitely a bug in that line:

c:/boost/tools/build/new/virtual-target.jam:583: toolset.set-target-variables $(self.action-name[1]) $(actual-targets[0]) :

zero is not a valid index. Also:

c:/boost/tools/build/new/property.jam:148: if $(x[0]) < $(y[0])

I made this change

I ran some simple tests and it seemed to work out just fine: both
of the targets' variables would be used to build the pair.
