I can see the same problem, and stripped down the project even further to:

=============================
Jamroot:

import os ;
import feature ;
import type ;

path-constant TOP : . ;

project TEST ;

# find all the jam subprojects
JamProjects =
     [ MATCH (.*)/Jamfile : [ glob-tree Jamfile ] ]
     ;

for local proj in $(JamProjects)
{
    build-project $(proj) ;
}

alias sub-stages : $(JamProjects)//stage ;

install stage
    :
    sub-stages
    ;

===========================
 sub/Jamfile:

 lib a :
     a.c
 ;

 lib b :
     b.c
 ;

 lib c :
     c.c
 ;

 install stage-client
     : a c
     : <location>$(TOP)/stage/client
 ;

 install stage-server
     : b c
     : <location>$(TOP)/stage/server
 ;

 explicit stage stage-client stage-server ;
alias stage : stage-client stage-server ;

==================================

Judging from the output when running e.g. "bjam -q debug" message it seems 
like the "<location>" in the subprojects isn't being respected/detected; it 
looks like c.dll is attempted to get installed into "$(TOP)/stage" from both 
of the sub-targets. I'll take another look at it when I have some spare 
time.
