Sorry, it seems like there's a bug in current code. I've fixed this, and 
tested with the following Jamroot (copy-paste of actual working example):

   local sub = [ glob */Jamfile ] ;
   sub = $(sub:D) ;
   for local s in $(sub)
   {
      build-project $(s) ;
   }

Can you update to CVS HEAD and try again?
