Please note that I sent another email regarding this issue:
But to continue on this thread.

Here is a very much simplified project, that show the same issue.
Here is the output from : bjam --debug-building

here is the leaf project:

exe test : [ glob src/*.cpp  ]
           /site-config//boost_system
           /site-config//boost_serialization
         : <include>../SCRATCH/src

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the site-config.jam

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os ;
local BOOST_ROOT = [ os.environ BOOST_ROOT ] ;
project site-config
    : requirements <include>$(BOOST_ROOT)
    ;
lib boost_system : :   <file>$(BOOST_ROOT)/stage/lib/libboost_system.a  ;
lib boost_serialization : :

using testing ;

Let me know if you require any further info.
