Hi Zbynek,
I think you've run in the same problem that Andre mentioned in 

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/5021/

In short, special logic to avoid the warning is hardcoded to the "lib" and 
"exe" types. I've created a new issue, 

http://zigzag.cs.msu.su:7814/scarab/issues/id/BB73

But it seems quite big, so I might end up disable usused sources check for a 
while.
