Kirill, 
could you give more details how we can reproduce this?
When I try Jamfile which reads:

project : requirements <include>c:/foo/include ;

lib foo : : <file>c:/foo/bin/foo.lib <link>shared ;

lib hello1b : hello1.cpp : <library>foo ; 

It tries to build hello1b. The bug is not so urgent, but I'd like to make sure 
it's not forgotten and that we have reproduction recipe when we get to fixing 
it.
