Auto-link/common-variant-tag interaction broken

Given the current definitions of BOOST_VERSION in "Jamrules":

BOOST_VERSION ?= 1.32.0 ;

and BOOST_LIB_VERSION in "boost/version.hpp":

#define BOOST_LIB_VERSION "1_32"

I don't see how the current code in "common-variant-tag" rule

local version-tag = ;
if ! $(gUNVERSIONED_VARIANT_TAG)
{
local version-number = [ get-values <version> : $(properties) ] ;
version-number ?= $(BOOST_VERSION) ;
version-tag = [ MATCH "^([^-]+)[.]([^-]+)" : $(version-number[1]) ] ;
version-tag = $(version-tag:J="_") ;
}

can produce names matching the ones requested in "boost/config/auto_link.hpp".

The difference in the versions' format is bound to cause the former 
to return something like "whatever-toolsettag-mt-1.32_0" and "auto_link.hpp"
to request "whatever-toolsettag-mt-1_32".

Am I missing something?
