Because it's a bug in V2. I've just comitted a test for it and the attached 
patch.

No, that different thing.

As documentation says, "use-project" only make project-id known. To use 
specific library you have to say that explicitly.

The right syntax is 

unit-test patterqa : patterrqz.cpp patterns 
/boost/test//unit_test_framework ;

and it's described in docs too. Where did you found the "@" syntax? Maybe, 
some example or doc part still contain them?
