It works for me.. I use it as:

make icon.png : other/standard/iphone/icon.png
   : @image2icon : <configuration>standard <target-os>iphone ;
make icon.png : other/limited/iphone/icon.png
   : @image2icon : <configuration>limited <target-os>iphone ;

Which pays attention to both <configuration> (a custom feature I have) 
and <target-os> (only iPhone for this project but I have other that also 
include Windows).

Perhaps it's the missing space before the <target-os>? Not sure if you 
have it that way in your actual files.
