I think this might be because command line and environmental variables are 
imported into global module in V2, and when executing actions those settings 
are not visible. Alas, I'm not likely to look into this for a couple of days.

If you're interested in trying a quick workaround, add 

JAMSHELL on $(targets) = [ modules.peek : JAMSHELL ] ;

right to the top of 'set-target-variables' rule in "new/toolset.jam". This 
might help.
