Yes, I've encountered this before but had no time preparing a testcase.

Please find a similar case attached.

Explanation:
We've tried some alternative directory structure.
I've got
ROOT/src/lib1
ROOT/src/apps
ROOT/src/apps/main.

We'd then have ROOT/docs and ROOT/setup or whatever, does not matter 
here. What matters is that I've put all "src" specific" options into 
src/Jamfile. 
Those options are pickup up when compiling in ROOT (see log1.txt) but 
_not_ when compiling in ROOT/src (see log2.txt)
The same effect occurs when building from src/apps/main subdirectory.

I hope this helps.

Yours,

Jürgen
