bjam on Windows 2000 problems

Given the following jamfile:

rule A
{
do_A $(<) ;
}

actions do_A
{
echo "$(<)">test
set A="$(<)"
echo "%A%">>test
}

A d ;

This is what I get in file test:

"d" 
""d" "

Problems:

1. The first line has a space after last quote <"><d><"><space>
2. The second line has a space after 3rd quote <"><">d<"><space><">

This prevents the build on latest Comeau 4.3.3b8. The @
command files get generated with extra spaces in them.
