[Boost-build] Problem with use-project

After some days taking care of other stuff, I (updated from CVS and)
returned to BBv2 to find the following new issue.

I have at drive S:\ the root of a BBv2 project containing a Jamfile with
lib targets for pre-built libraries.

In Jamroot, I call use-project like this:

  use-project sdk : S:/ ;

and refer to libraries from the application target like /sdk//boost-1_33
in Jamfiles. This works fine.

But now, all Jamroots containing:

  project foo
        : build-dir bin
        ;

provoke the following (contrived) error message:

c:/Documents and Settings/pedro.lamarao/My
Documents/boost/tools/build/v2/util\p
ath.jam:329: in path.relative from module path
error: /S: is not a subdir of /C:/Documents and
Settings/pedro.lamarao/My Docume
nts/Visual Studio Projects/VeM_Linux/smtp_client

Commenting the build-dir line like this:

  project foo
#	: build-dir bin
        ;

makes the problem go away.

I'm using BBv2 from the RC_1_34_0 branch. Am I missing something?
