Maybe, BOOST_ROOT is set in environment, not in Jamfile? Can you add

ECHO $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

to Jamfile and see if it produces any output. Environment variables are not 
imported into Jamfile scope, you'd need to do

import modules ;
BOOST_ROOT = [ modules.peek : BOOST_ROOT ] ;

for that.

I'm not sure how to explain this. Can you provide a test case which reproduces 
the problem?
