bjam's commandline parser broken?

Hi,

it seems recent changes to bjam have broken the regression test script.
tools/regression/run_tests.sh contains these lines:

cd $boost_root/tools/regression/build && \
$bjam -sTOOLS=$toolset -sBUILD=release run

They're supposed to build the regression test help programs.

bjam now responds with:

don't know how to make run
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...

Have there been changes to the commandline parser of bjam?

Regards,
m

PS: I'm able to work around this problem since
bjam -sBUILD="release run" seems to do what I want. However,
I think the failure could indicate a serious problem.
