Thanks Jürgen, It was actually
local rule run-test ( test-name : sources + : requirements * )
{
   requirements += <preserve-test-targets>on ;
   ...

I used html email and made this line bold. It turned out this format became
* instead ...

Anyway, looks like it was because my bjam version was too low. You suggested
>3.1.18. But isn't the 3.1.17 the current package release version? Or I have
to go to trunk anyway because this is a very new feature.

Thanks.
