[Boost-build] bjam TARGET=install unexpected actions

Folks -

     I was curious about an extra link step on my install target which
are dependent on exe targets.  I noticed that my in my other examples
when my install target is based on a shared library it simply performs
a common.copy, but for some reason the install for an exe does not
behave the same way.  Is there something that I'm missing...

Proto example below:

project example
    : requirements
        <include>./include
    : usage-requirements
        <include>./include
    ;

lib SharedSrc : src/SharedSrc.cpp : <link>static ;

## build target
exe example : src/main.
                     SharedSrc/<link>static
                     /boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem
                     /boost/serialization//boost_serialization
                     /boost/program_options//boost_program_options
                     /boost/thread//boost_thread ;

install install-example : example
                     : <variant>release:<location>/example/release/bin
                       <variant>debug:<location>/example/debug/bin ;

unit-test node-test : [ glob src/test/*.cpp ] SharedSrc/<link>static
/boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem
                      /boost/serialization//boost_serialization
                      /boost/program_options//boost_program_options
                      /boost/thread//boost_thread
                      /boost/test//boost_unit_test_framework ;

explicit install install-example ;
