'piecemeal' is indeed a modifier 
<http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/language.html#jam.language.rules.action_modifiers>. 
And modifiers must be before the actions name, except for 'bind' which 
must be after the name. The exact syntax is:

   `actions` eflags ARG bindlist `{`

So it turns out the bjam docs are a bit misleading in the case of 'bind 
vars'.
