I've reproduced this. This should will work if you change the line to 
generators.register-standard rc.resource-compile : RC : OBJ : <toolset> ;

This is a bug in Boost.Build: we're trying to use compilers to create OBJ,
which fails, but we also never consider OBJ->RC generator. We'd need to
fix this, but if a workaround above works for you, I'll go ahead with release.
