You surely can. The section called "Conditional properties" describe the 
syntax as:

property ( "," property ) * ":" property

You can also look at

I've just verified that it works ok.

You've two chices:
1. Leave with it ;-)
2. Specify exactly what target types you want to be staged, using 
<include-type> feature. My example uses it. And, also,

bjam --help stage

mentions this feature.
