Reading from intel-win.jam file...

# Initializes the intel toolset for windows
rule init ( version ? :     # the compiler version
             command * :     # the command to invoke the compiler itself
             options *       # Additional option: <compatibility>
                             # either 'vc6', 'vc7', 'vc7.1'
                             # or 'native'(default).
           )

Doing a grep/find in testing.jam...

local argv = [ modules.peek : ARGV ] ;
if --preserve-test-targets in $(argv)
{
     preserve-test-targets = true ;
}

So, yes it will work.

Hm, looking at one of my user-config.jam files 
<http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/RSI%20Droid.html>, you 
should be able to do:

modules.poke : ARGV : [ modules.peek : ARGV ] --preserve-test-targets ;

It's possible to change BB and bjam to do that but it's not a trivial 
change, as it would require adding some new builtins to bjam.
