[Boost-build] Using template target produces error

I'm a little stumped about what I'm doing wrong here.

When I run a jamfile like this using a template target:

template test :  :  <threading>multi ;
exe  TestExe : <template>test  main.cpp ;

...I get the error:

C:\Code\Test\Build\Boost.Build\../../../Library/Boost-1.33.1/tools/build/v1\boost-base.jam:2553: 
in target-id-of
*** argument error
* rule split-path ( path )
* called with: (  )
* missing argument path

...whereas if I use this for my jamfile defining but not using the template:

template test :  :  <threading>multi ;
exe  TestExe : main.cpp :  <threading>multi ;

... all is well.

I've looked hard at the Boost.Build System doc page and can't figure out 
my error. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
