That appears to be how it was all along.  The original code didn't
separately call the setup script:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/29192

On the other hand, it doesn't need to, because it was already called
in an earlier line of the action.

The change that added the branch that *does* call the setup script was
checked in by you:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/boost/tools/build/v2/tools/msvc.jam?rev=32306
