I have patched my copy of common.jam locally to work around this 
problem. The diff is:

Index: tools/common.jam

          return "set $(variable)=$(value)$(nl)" ;
      }
+    else if [ os.name ] = CYGWIN
+    {
+        return "export $(variable)=$(value)$(nl)" ;
+    }
      else
      {
          # (todo)

It seems to work just fine for me. I'm not sure if it's the Right Fix. 
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can have a look.
