It seams that bjam calls vcvars32.bat on 64bit Windows?! It should call 
vcvars64.bat instead. This is triggered by calling vcvarsall.bat from 
bjam with the incorrect argument (should be amd64 or x86_amd64).
Maybe tools/msvc.jam is not correct?

bjam toolset=msvc-10.0 architecture=x86 instruction-set=yorksfield -n -a

thx,
