Good <time-of-day>!

As you know, I'm rewriting Jam in C++ and I have a questions to Boost 
developers: should I replicate Jam bugs?

So far I've found:
1. This code:
=======
c = 1 2 3 4 5 ;
ECHO $(c[1-3]:J=) ;
=======
produces an empty string instead of expected "123).
2. This code:
=======
a = c:/temp/aaa.txt c:/temp/bbb.txt ;
ECHO $(a:D=[1]) ;
=======
produces garbage (text with '\1' and '\2' characters) instead of 
expected 'aaa.txt'.
3. This code:
=======
a = c:/temp/bbb.txt ;
b = ":D=" ;
ECHO $(a$(b)) ;
=======
produces an empty string.
