I could test it only under VC-8.0. I compiled your test case without
your /Yl patch applied, and I saw a warning when I ran bjam.exe alone
(/Z7 build).

But for /Zi builds (bjam.exe debug-store=database) your test case
doesn't reproduce any problems, does it? No warnings, and debug info
is present for both test-lib.cpp and test.cpp.

P.S. It's a pity that debug-store=object by default. In studios
"debug-store=database" is by default.
