In fact, not a bug. When you write:

  feature.feature customized : off on : propagated path ;

and then use

  <customized>on

in 'app', V2 automatically adds the path to Jamfile where <customized>on 
occurs to the value. In fact, that's the only semantics of 'path' attribute. 
So, you get "app/on" where 'app' is the path to the Jamfile containing 
'<customized>on'. And "app/on" is clearly not a valid feature name. I guess 
I'l modify the 'feature' rule so that it  rejects 'path' features with a 
fixed set of values.
