alias target not local?

Hello.

Is this the expected behavior of the alias target?

[top]
|--Jamfile
|--project-root.jam
|--foo
| |--Jamfile
| |--foo_test.cpp
|--bar
| |--Jamfile
| |--bar_test.cpp

/Jamfile:
alias test : foo//test bar//test ;

/foo/Jamfile
alias test_src : foo_test.cpp ;
unit-test test : test_src ;

/bar/Jamfile
alias test_src : bar_test.cpp ;
unit-test test : test_src ;

Running 'bjam' updates foo//test and bar//test, but when creating the 
bar//test it links *both* bar_test.cpp *and* foo_test.cpp into the 
binary. Isn't /foo//test_src something unrelated to /bar//test_src?

PS. I guess you can also remove this note from the documentation:

(Note, that the "alias" target type is not yet implemented, but it's 
quite simple to do. I bet it's waiting for you to do it ;-))
