Works for me (after adding a dummy main.cxx file):

"bjam --version" gives:

Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12)
Boost.Jam 3.1.18

A small caveat though: It seems to be neccesary to specify the 
"address-model" and "target-os" options explicitly on the command-line in 
order to have them included properly in the tagged names. As you can see 
above, only the compiler tag is included.

If you try the exact file that Juergen provided, does it still not work?
