I think found the problem:
My original install rule was like this:

rule install ( name : root : requirements * )
{
     stage.install $(name)-root : $(root) : $(requirements) ;
     alias $(name) : $(name)-root ;
     local c = [ project.current ] ;
     local project-module = [ $(c).project-module ] ;
     module $(project-module)
     {
         explicit $(name)-root ; # error
#                  ^^^^ here is the problem
     }
}

When I change the line marked with # error to

explicit $(1)-root ;

the everything works as expected. Seems to be that the $(name)
variable is out of scope there.
