[Boost-build] Boost Build creating a couple of invalid directories during test run

I've recently running all the boost tests in order to test my library status 
facilty before checking it in. In the course of doing this I've noticed that 
in a couple of cases, bjam doesn't create the proper test directory.  Here 
are the tests:

a) program_options/test/convert
b) python/test/int_map_indexing_suite
c) statechart/test/TuTest

In all three of these tests (and only these three) the directory tree is 
missing the test name so that for example, the directory tree for statechart 
TuTest  looks like

bin.v2/libs/statechart/test/msvc-7.1/debug/link-static/threading-multi/test_log.xml

whereas  I expect the directory tree to look like:

bin.v2/libs/statechart/test/TuTest.test/msvc-7.1/debug/link-static/threading-multi/test_log.xml

So the test name is missing from the directory - In only these three cases.

I've repeated this a couple of times with the same results.  I've been 
unable to determine what these cases have in common which is different from 
all the other test case.  This shows up a a bogus column in my library 
status program output for these libraries.

It would be a good idea for someone to look into this.
