Okay, running in 'status' works because libs/iostreams/test/Jamfile.v2 has 

   import stlport ;

The good question now is what's the right solution:

1. We can add 'import stlport' to serialization's test/Jamfile.v2
2. We can disabling validation of the 'stdlib' feature used in condition of 
conditional requirements.

(1) looks better to me. Comments?
