According to:

http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/jamfiles.html

<implicit-dependency> should be used when there are generated headers, so most 
likely you don't need to use it. What if you modify your Jamfile to read:

stage filecopy : [ glob data/*.dat data/*.txt ] : <variant>release
<location>dist : <dependency>dist ;

and run

bjam filecopy

? This should install "dist" as well.
