Strange. In my project, for example, I have

<variant>debug:<hardcode-dll-paths>true

in top-level requirements and it surely works. I've just tested <tooset>/
<include> combination, and it seems to work, too.

Can you provide a test case where they do not work?
As a quick check: you don't have multiple project-root.jam files. If a 
directory with Jamfile has also project-root.jam file, the Jamfile won't 
inherit properties from parent.
